The Utilization, Implementation, and Effectiveness of Supplemental Educational Services: A Multidistrict Perspective
Sat, April 14, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: First Level, East Ballroom CSession Submission Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
The Supplemental Educational Services (SES) provision of the NCLB Act is aimed at raising the academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students in persistently underperforming Title I schools. Previous studies of the effects of SES on student achievement have shown inconclusive results. In this symposium, three papers representing research conducted in seven urban school districts (Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, & Saint Paul) will be presented. Cross-district findings on the utilization, implementation, and effectiveness of SES will be discussed and synthesized. Presenters and discussants will contribute insights on factors that influence the use of SES, strengths and areas for improvement of SES, the effects of SES on student achievement, and policy implications for the pending reauthorization of NCLB.
