Title I
What is Title I?
Title I, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of educationally at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as at risk of failing to meet the state’s challenging performance standards, most specifically in math or English/language-arts.
What will Title I programs do for my child?
The Title I program will provide your child with supplemental educational assistance beyond the regular classroom.
How can I get involved?
Parents, you can influence the success of your student in school more than any teacher or federal program. By becoming an active participant in the Title I parent involvement plan at your school, you will:
Serve as a role model, showing your student that you support his/her education.
Assure that you are aware of your student’s educational progress; thereby demonstrating its importance.
What does research tell us?
Research shows that how well students do in school depends a great deal upon how much their parents get involved in their education. You can become more involved by:
Joining local and national school/parent organizations
Supporting school extra-curricular activities
Volunteering at the school
Attending parent-teacher conferences
Communicating with your student’s teacher regularly, by writing notes, telephoning the school, etc.
Keeping your student’s teacher informed about events in his or her life which may affect his/her performance at school
Discussing with your student’s teacher and parent organizations other ideas for parent involvement
