RTI and Title I An Overview Facilitated by Tara Black & Dean Richards
Targets • Participants will understand the difference between a Title I Schoolwide and Title I Targeted Assisted Program • Participants will understand the difference between Response To Intervention (RTI) and Title I Programs
Expectations • Participate to 100% of your ability • All participants have a voice • No question is a bad question
Two Program Models for Title I, Part A 1. Targeted Assistance -Minimum 35% FRLP (Free and Reduced Lunch Program) 2. Schoolwide -Minimum 40% FRLP
How does it get decided? • It is up to the LEA to identify Title I Schools, Programs, and Services based upon the district’s and individual school goals • Just because a school is 35% or more FRLP doesn’t mean that the school will be a Title I School Program
How does it get decided? • 75% FRLP-The LEA is Required to Fund as a Title I Program
How does it get decided? • Districts can distribute the funding in accordance to NCLB Rules and Regulations
How does it get decided? • Many districts fund elementary schools first, and some will only serve primary aged students K-2 • (generally targeted programs)
Targeted Assistance Model • A Targeted Assistance program is one in which individual students are targeted to receive Title I services.
Targeted Assistance Model • The term “targeted assistance” signifies that the services are provided to a select group of children: those identified as failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the state’s academic achievement standards.
Targeted Assisted Program • In a TAS Program, Title I Funds must support the identified or targeted students only.
Targeted Assistance Model • Students are identified based on multiple, objective, educationally- related criteria and assessments. • You can’t use Title I funds find the students
Targeted Assistance Model • Services may be delivered in a number of ways such as: • Pull-out model • Extended day • Extended Year (i.e. summer school)
To accomplish this goal, a targeted assistance program must be based on: • Improving achievement of participating children.
To accomplish this goal, a targeted assistance program must be based on: • Using effective instructional strategies that give primary consideration to extended timebeyond core instruction
Targeted Assistance Model • Providing accelerated, high-quality curricula.
Targeted Assistance Model • Minimizing the removal from the regular classroom during regular school hours.

Talk Time • What are schools using to identify their students? • How are your Targeted Assisted schools delivering services?
SchoolwideModel • A Title I school is eligible to become a schoolwide program whenthe FRLPlevel counted is at or above 40 percent.
Schoolwide Model • A schoolwide program has more flexibility in the use of Title I funds and in the delivery of services than a Targeted Title I Program.
Schoolwide Model • Schoolwide Program Goals are set and action plans are implemented based on school data to best meet the needs of students most at risk in reading, writing or math.
Schoolwide Model • Schoolwide Program Goals are set and action plans are implemented based on school data to best meet the needs of students most at risk in reading, writing or math.
Identification of Schoolwide Students • All students are eligible to participate in all aspects of theSchoolwide Title I Program.
Schoolwide Model • The statute requires schools to particularly address the needs of low-achieving children and those at-risk of not meeting the state academic achievement standards.
