History of Title I

• Title I is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act that was introduced in 1965, now known as No Child Left Behind

• NCLB stressed accountability; signed into law in 2002.

How does Title I help my school?

• By providing supplemental resources and academic opportunities for those students most at risk for not meeting State and Local standards.

For Example…

• Instructional Assistants

(Reading)

• Literacy Materials
• Supplemental curriculum
• Equipment and Technology
• Professional Development

Title I Instruction

• Title I is extra, beyond what is already provided to all students.
• Title I programs are supported by scientific or evidence-based research.
• Instruction is focused

on Language Arts.

Who Can Receive Title I Services?

• ANY student identified as experiencing academic difficulties within school guidelines. These students will be provided timely assistance to help them meet the State’s challenging content standards.
