What is Title I?

The purpose of Title I is to provide ALL children "significant opportunity to receive fair, equitable, and high-quality education to close achievement gaps".

As a school-wide program your school must develop a plan describing the services it will provide based on a comprehensive assessment of the school's needs.  This needs assessment must take into account the academic achievement of all students, particularly the needs of students struggling to meet state academic standards and any other factors as determined by the school district.

Epstein's Six Types of Parent Involvement

Parenting:  Help all families establish home environments to support children as students

Communicating:  Design effective forms of school-to-home and home-to-school communications about school programs and children's progress

Volunteering:  Recruit and organize parent help and support

Learning at home:  Provide information and ideas to families about how to help with homework and other curriculum-related activities, decisions, and develop parent leaders and representatives

Decision-making:  Include families as participants in school decisions and develop parent leaders and representatives

Collaboration:  Coordinate resources and services from the community for families, students and the school, and provide services to the community

Parent Right to Know

Parents have the right to know about the teaching qualifications of your child's classroom teacher and/or paraprofessional in a school receiving Title I funds.

You Have the Right to Know

Whether the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.

Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived

Whether the teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher; and

Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications

Notes to Parents

You are important.  You are your child's most important teacher.  Communication is key.
