Purpose • Overview of Title I • Funding sources • Expectations • Parent Night • Assessments • Structure for grade level services
Title I Activity • Sort the information in your envelope into two categories (If you don’t have these materials they are available on the website) • Category A – what you want for Title I students • Category B – what you want for Non-Title I students
Isn’t this what we want for all students? • Use quality assessments and accountability systems to measure student growth • Provide students with well trained teachers, viable curriculum, and instructional materials that align to challenging state academic standards • Ensure that parents and administrators can measure progress against common expectations for academic achievement • Close the achievement gap between high and low performing children especially those gaps between minority and non-minority students, and between disadvantaged and advantaged peers • Provide children an enriched and accelerated education program • Provide parents with meaningful opportunities to participate in the education of their children • Elevate the quality of instruction by providing staff with professional development opportunities • Provide choice to students in low-performing schools, allowing them to attend a school where they are more likely to receive a high-quality education
Funding Details • Title 1 funds are used to close the gap between low-income students and other students. • Funding comes from U.S. Department of Education based on the % of students eligible for Free & Reduced lunch. • ALL students in the qualifying school are eligible to participate in Title I services, regardless of their own economic status.
Eligibility • So, how does my child qualify for services? • Based on data collected from teachers your child may or may not qualify. • Your child may qualify in math and not reading. • Your child may qualify in the fall, but not in the spring. • Once you participate you are not locked in. • Constant review of data and fluidity of groups is an expectation.
