Students – Free Tutoring
Many communities within the Detroit Area have a big problem, and you can be an important part of the solution to that problem.
Many schools in the Detroit Area are not meeting the standards of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. Some students from these schools can get 40 hours of FREE tutoring, paid through a government grant.

No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Law Tutoring Grant Program
Many Detroit Area students are eligible for free tutoring under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law, but less than 15% of them are getting it, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Your district is required to inform you whether your (or your child’s) school is a Title I school that is categorized as “in need of improvement” for two (2) consecutive years. A Title I school is in an attendance area where 35% or more students’ families are considered to be low income. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) also has this information.
Once a family chooses an approved tutoring service, the district contracts with and pays the service. This Supplemental Educational Services (SES) provider is required to set goals for your child in a meeting with you, your district and your child's teacher or principal, and then report your child's progress to all of you.

The Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measure was established to help identify Title I schools and districts needing additional help educating our next generation. AYP results are used to help identify low-performing Title I schools and districts by offering other educational options for their struggling students.
Schools and districts that do not meet these AYP achievement objectives can still demonstrate AYP by showing adequate progress by having enough improvement in the percentage of students--if not the actual count of them--who meet state standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This is combined with checking for acceptable attendance (pre-high school) or graduation rates (high school).

The AYP measurement is one of the cornerstones of the Federal NCLB Act. In Michigan, it's a measure of year-to-year student achievement on the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) test. According to NCLB, its goal is for every student in the nation to meet the educational standards.
The plan to achieve this is for Michigan and other states to develop target starting goals for AYP and then "raise the bar" in gradual increments so that 100% of the students in the state are proficient on MEAP assessments by the 2013-14 school year.
While responsibility for making AYP is focused on the core subjects of English Language Arts and Mathematics, schools and districts are encouraged to examine their progress in all subjects and use the information to help focus their school’s improvement planning and professional development activities.
