Information About Title I

Title I-A is intended to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments.

Title I-A targets these resources to the districts and schools where the needs are greatest.

Title I-A provides flexible funding that may be used to provide additional instructional staff, professional development, extended-time programs, and other strategies for raising student achievement in high-poverty schools. The program focuses on promoting schoolwide reform in high-poverty schools and ensuring students' access to scientifically based instructional strategies and challenging academic content. Title I-A provisions provide a mechanism for holding states, school districts, and schools accountable for improving the academic achievement of all students and turning around low-performing schools, while providing alternatives to students in such schools to enable those students to receive a high-quality education.

Schoolwide Programs

NOTICE:
The Idaho Department of Education has transitioned to a new planning and approval process for schools that seek to operate a Title I Schoolwide Program. The new planning and approval process has been integrated with the WISE Tool and other School Improvement processes in order to promote greater program coherence, reduce the burden on schools and districts, and make the plan development more meaningfully aligned with current research. For any school that is entering the Schoolwide Program planning process during the 2012-2013 school year, please contact Fanny Wilson at (208) 332-6973 or by email at fwilson@sde.idaho.gov with any questions.

The Idaho planning and implementation workbook for Title I Schoolwide Programs is posted below, along with other supporting resources. In it you will find the information necessary to understand the qualitative differences between Title I Targeted Assistance and Schoolwide Programs, the process by which to gain approval to operate as a Schoolwide Program, and information on implementation and ongoing evaluation.

Quick steps to begin the process for gaining approval to move from Targeted Assistance to Schoolwide Title I
