About This Site
This website was last updated November 2005.
The SESQ Center, which operated from October 2003 through December 2005, was established through a grant to the American Institutes for Research from the Office of Innovation and Improvement of the U.S. Department of Education.
The contents of this website were developed under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. However, these contents do not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of Education, and readers should not assume endorsement of the Federal Government.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, low-income children in public schools “in need of improvement” can receive free tutoring, also called supplemental educational services (SES). While in operation, the SESQ Center helped families take advantage of this opportunity by working to:
- Increase the number of eligible children receiving free tutoring.
- Expand the number and range of high-quality tutoring services offered.
- Improve district, state, and national coordination of the program.
