  2. What is Title I? • Title I began in 1965 (ESEA) as a federal program to ensure equal opportunities for low income school districts. • Through Title I, the federal government disburses money to school districts based on the number of low-income families in each district as determined by census data. • The school uses its Title I money to supplement and improve educational programsoffered to help ALL studentsmeet state standards.

  3. The Purpose of Title I… ….is to ensure that ALL studentshave a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and State academic assessments.

  4. Title I programs can help. . . • Students do better in school and feel better about themselves • Teachers understand the needs and concerns of students and parents • Parents understand their child and be more involved in their child’s education GEWES is “School-Wide”Title I school

  5. As Title I School-Wide , we… • Develop a School-Wide Plan • Conduct a needs assessment/parent survey on the types of programs we offer and use parent input to guide our decision making on ways to help students • We hold Parent workshops / presentations to train and inform parents about standards, assessments, etc… • Use Title I Money to provide ALL students with services to help them achieve academic success • We establish goals based on multiple pieces of data and determine how are we going to meet our goals through programs & interventions

  14. College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) • Georgia uses the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) for state accountability purposes. • The CCRPI is like a REPORT CARD for schools. • CCRPI has multiple indicators to determine a school’s performance, rather than using a single test score given at one point in time.

  19. ED / EL / SWD Performance • Points are given based on the progress and achievement on EOG assessments for • Economically Disadvantaged (ED) • English Learners (EL) • Student with Disabilities (SWD)
