  5. The largest Federal assistance program for our nation’s schools • Provides additional academic support and learning opportunities for students at schools with high percentages of socioeconomically disadvantaged children What is Title I?

  6. The federal government provides funding to states each year for Title I • The California Department of Education sends the money to the district • The school district identifies eligible schools and provides Title I funds • Generally, our district funnels Title I funds ONLY to elementary schools How Title I works

  7. Education act signed into law in 2002 that aims to: • Ensure that every student has a high-quality education; • Challenge and motivate students; • Provide highly qualified teachers who use proven teaching methods;and • Ensure a safe, drug free learning environment No Child Left Behind (NCLB)

  8. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • The method by which the federal government assesses school progress • Criteria includes participation rate in state testing, proficiency rates on ELA and math state tests, and the school’s ranking in the state’s accountability system • The goal is for 100% of students to be proficient in English and Math by the year 2014 • School’s that receive Title I funds must make AYP every year or face consequences • This is why the district focuses Title I funds at the elementary level NCLB, Title I, & AYP

  9. Federal law requires that if a school hits a certain percentage of low-income students, they will automatically become a Title I school. • This is the case with SMMS • As a result, we are subject to the consequences of not meeting AYP So why is SMMS Title I?

  10. AYP considers 3 criteria: (participation, proficiency, API) • SMMS met the criteria in both participation and API • In order to meet proficiency standards the school and all subgroups must meet the federal target in English and Math • 89.2% for English and 89.5% in Math What you should know about AYP

  11. Of all schools in San Diego County, 15% met AYP • NO secondary school in SMUSD met AYP • SMMS is the only secondary Title I school • As such, SMMS receives consequences of not making AYP What you should know about AYP

  12. The California Department of Education uses the Academic Performance Index as its accountability standard • A school’s scores are based on how students score on state tests in the spring • English, Math, Science (8th only), and History (8th only) • The statewide performance target is 800 out of a possible 1000 points State API

  13. The state offers an additional measure of a school’s progress with a Similar School ranking • This ranks the school’s API compared with the APIs of 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics State API

  14. SMMS 2013 API is 818 • Exceeds the state’s performance target • Exceeds the state average API of 789 State API

  15. SMMS Similar School’s ranking is 10 out of 10 • Within the 100 similar schools used for this ranking, SMMS has the 5th highest API Similar Schools

  16. Similar Schools Comparison

  17. SMMS is the only middle school in the district with schoolwide API growth • + 2 Schoolwide • SMMS grew in 3 out of 5 significant subgroup areas as well • + 10 White • +3 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged • + 2 English Learners • No Change in Hispanic/Latino • - 12 in Students w/Disabilities API Growth

  21. Parents’ right to transfer to school of choice • 10% of Title 1 funds must be used for teacher professional development • Parent and teacher surveys about educational programs • Revise school plan to improve achievement of certain subgroups What does PI mean for SMMS?

  22. The school must show improvement for 2 years in order to exit Program Improvement • Future is uncertain • California STAR tests will end in 2014 • Replaced by Common Core assessments in 2014/2015 • AB 484 legislation in the Senate will: • Suspend STAR tests in ELA and math as soon as this spring • Will allow for transition to new standards and test • Lift the development of API for the next 2 years What does PI mean for SMMS?

  23. Title I programs provide supplemental support and programs that benefit all students • Additional teachers • Additional training for school staff • Extra time for instruction (before and/or after school programs) • Support classes within the school day • Supplemental teaching materials and technology • Parent education and involvement activities Many of the supports and programs we offer would not be available without Title I funding The Upside of Title I
