Types of Programs
There are two main models for serving students in a Title I school:
Targeted Assistance (TA) - This model provides supplemental services to identified children who are low-achieving or at risk of low-achievement. This school selects "eligible children" from the larger pool of students, by identifying those who have difficulty in reading or mathematics, to meet the state's challenging student academic achievement standards. The school makes this determination based on multiple, educationally related, objective criteria established by the LEA and supplemented by the school.
Schoolwide (SW) - This model funds a comprehensive school plan to upgrade all instruction in a very high-poverty school, without distinguishing between "eligible" and "ineligible" children. Schoolwide programs are justified on the grounds that once poverty reaches a certain threshold in a school, it makes more sense to try to improve the whole instructional program than to provide services separately to some of the students. A school must first be selected by the LEA as a participating school. In addition, the school must meet the required poverty threshold of 40 percent (at least 40 percent of the children are from low-income families). Any eligible school that desires to operate a schoolwide program must first develop a comprehensive plan for reforming the total instructional program in the school.
Our schools provide a variety of programs.
