 Title
1 is a federally funded program reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of
2001(NCLB). The purpose of Title 1 is to ensure that all children have a fair,
equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high quality education and meet
the challenging state academic standards. The restricted grant funds
provide supplementary funding to improve the teaching and learning of children Funds are to be used only for programs that supplement,
and do not supplant, the services that would be provided in the absence of these
funds.
|
|
All Title 1 schools benefit from centralized program services that
include; instructional support, professional
development, technology support, and parent involvement initiatives. Schools are required, by law,
to develop school-parent compacts that define both school and home
responsibilities for improving student achievement. There are two types of Title
1 program designs - schoolwide and targeted assistance. |
|
Schoolwide
- A school with 40%
or more of its students receiving free and reduced priced meals may operate a
schoolwide program. A schoolwide program school may use its funds to
upgrade the school's entire educational program. However, care should be
exercised that children in greatest need reap the benefit of the Title 1
funding. A schoolwide program must be based on a comprehensive needs
assessment of the entire school. The school must develop a schoolwide
reform strategy that provides opportunities for
all children to meet the state's advanced and proficient performance levels.
Schoolwide program evaluation is based on the achievement of all students.
|
|
|
A schoolwide program plan, by law, must include the following ten components:
- A comprehensive
needs assessment of the entire school
- Schoolwide reform strategies that
provide opportunities for all children to meet the state's proficient and
advanced levels of academic achievement and use methods and instructional
strategies based on scientifically based research
- Instruction by highly qualified
staff
- High quality and ongoing professional
development based on scientifically based research
- Strategies to attract highly qualified
teachers
- Strategies to increase parent
involvement
- Plans for assisting preschool children in the
transition to elementary school
- Measures to include teachers in assessment
decisions
- Activities to ensure that students having
difficulty mastering the proficient or advances levels of academic achievement
standards shall be provided with effective, timely, additional assistance
- Coordination and integration of federal,
state and local services and programs
|

|
Targeted Assistance
-
Targeted assistance programs operate in schools that do not qualify as
schoolwide programs or elect not to operate a schoolwide program. Unlike
schoolwide programs, Targeted Assistance Schools must focus funds on eligible
children who are failing or who are most at risk of failing to meet state
standards. The term "targeted assistance" indicates that educational services
are provided to an identified group of children rather than for overall
school improvement, as in schoolwide programs. Therefore, Targeted Assistance
Schools may not use Title 1 funds to provide services to all children in
particular grades.
|
|
Using the needs
assessment, schools may select reading and/or math as the targeted subject
area(s), the grade levels to be serviced, and the intervention strategies
provided to the identified students. The target population for program
services must be identified through the use of multiple, educationally related,
objective criteria. The targeted assistance school program should be designed to
provide additional academic support to the identified students during the school
day or through extended day/year programs. Eligible students should
participate in the full academic program of their school, while at the same time
receiving the extra support provided by the program. The program evaluation will
be based on the achievement of the participating students.
