To find out if your child qualifies for tutoring through a program related to NCLB's successor, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), you need to contact your child's school directly. Here's how:
1. Talk to your child's teacher: This is the best first step. They are most aware of any available support programs, including tutoring services, within the school.
2. Contact the school counselor or principal: If the teacher isn't the best resource, these individuals will be knowledgeable about school-based support programs.
3. Check your school district's website: Many districts have websites detailing their programs for students who need extra help. Look for sections on special education, student support services, or academic intervention.
4. Contact your state's department of education: They can provide information on statewide initiatives and programs that might offer tutoring assistance. You can usually find their contact information online by searching "[Your State] Department of Education."
Keep in mind that while ESSA (and previously NCLB) influenced the availability of tutoring, eligibility is typically determined by factors like:
* Academic performance: Students who are struggling academically might qualify for tutoring services.
* Specific learning disabilities or needs: Students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) or 504 plans often receive support services, which might include tutoring.
* Economic disadvantage: Some programs prioritize students from low-income families.
In short, there's no central national database for NCLB/ESSA-related tutoring. Your best approach is to start with your child's school and work your way up to the district and state level if necessary.
