Supplemental Educational Services Initiative
In August 2004, P/PV was awarded a $2-million two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Education to provide technical assistance around Supplemental Educational Services (SES). Working with local intermediaries, P/PV assisted community- and faith-based organizations in becoming certified SES providers in eight cities: Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Columbus, Akron, Dayton, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Our approach included:
- Identification of skilled intermediary organizations in each target city that would manage the local effort;
- Selection of local community- and faith-based organizations in each city;
- Production of state-specific guidance and simplified application forms to assist the local organizations in applying for SES certification;
- Planning and carrying out a careful sequence of training and capacity-building efforts both to strengthen and enrich the local organizations' existing educational programs and to assist them in completing the SES application and certification process; and
- Providing technical support for newly established and/or certified programs.
The bulk of project activities ended in 2006.
