CEA Foundation Offers Supplemental Educational Services to CCS Students
In early September of this year, The CEA Voice reported that the Columbus Education Association Foundation had become certified by the Ohio Department of Education to provide Supplemental Education Services (SES) to Columbus City Schools students under the No Child Left Behind Legislation (NCLB). The CEA Foundation will be completely responsible for managing the hiring, curriculum and federal money that comes with the program. This is the only SES program in the state of Ohio to be run through a local teacher’s union.
NCLB legislation only requires tutors to have a minimum of a high school diploma and two years of college experience. Each and every teacher hired by the foundation will have a 4 year college degree, appropriate teacher licensure and is highly qualified under NCLB requirements.
CEA Foundation tutoring at 6 CCS elementary schools will begin in January. Teachers will tutor for three days per week, for one and a half hours each day in reading only. Teachers will tutor in schools they already currently work in, drawing on already established relationships with students in their building to help those children succeed.
