How Title I works
The federal government provides funding to states
each year for Title I. To receive funds,
each school must submit a plan describing:
- what all children are
expected to know and be able to do
- the high-quality
standards of performance that all children are expected to meet
- ways to measure
progress
A Schoolwide
Title I school works to:
- improve school
systems for all students
- provide interventions
for students who most need help
- set goals for
improvement
- measure student
progress using standards
- develop programs that
add to regular classroom instruction
- involve parents in all
aspects of the program.
Title I Programs generally
offer:
- Smaller classes
- Additional teachers
- Additional training for staff members
- Extra time for instruction
- A variety of teaching methods and materials
The annual Title I meeting
is a place to start to:
§
learn
more about Title I
§
learn
about your rights and responsibilities as a Title I parent
§
learn
about parenting workshops
§
meet
other parents and teachers
§
begin the process of communication and cooperation
between parents and schools.
The parent-school compact states the goals
and responsibilities of students, parents and schools. It is a requirement. Its goal is to help those students who are
furthest from meeting state standards.
The parental involvement policy helps
parents understand and take part in the school efforts. It’s a jointly developed plan that spells out
what parents, teachers and other school staff need to do to help children meet
the state education standards.
