Schools, fueled by "No Child Left Behind," have access to funding for programs that assist students who are struggling academically in the public school system.

Supplemental Education Services (SES) firms develop customized education classroom management programs that are ideal for monitoring student progress. They involve the right educators and the right curriculum in order to meet each child's specific needs. Each tailored classroom management program is a customized process, unique to each student's progress.

SES firms create a customized education management profile for each student that involves participation from the right educators, reserves the facilities in which the classes will be taught, orders the curricular material, and manages the process of each student's unique SES program to completion.

However, in order to access government funds that support SES activities, schools must adhere to strict policies and procedures, including the ability to audit the records for each student.

Business Objectives

• Provide visibility into each student's current status and progress
• Connect performance with accountability (auditability is a requirement to collecting federal funds)
• Enable cheaper and more effective tools for aligning instruction with state standards

Benefits of BPM

• Process Ownership by Business People
  Because no coding is required, business people are empowered to not only design processes, but make changes as needed themselves...all without IT needing to get involved
• Ease of Stakeholder Adoption
  Educators can participate using the common desktop tools they are already familiar with (i.e. Word, Excel, etc.)
• Real-time Agility
  Processes change regularly. BPM enables real-time updates that can be made without needing to write code
• Process Visibility
  Dashboards provide insight into the effectiveness of the program for each student and provide a full audit trail of each student's participation
