Q: What is Title 1?
A: Title 1's purpose is to ensure that all children have an opportunity to get a good education and meet tough state goals and do well on standardized tests.
Q: How does Title 1 work?
A: Kids that would benefit from Title 1 are identified through standardized test scores, in-house assessments and teacher referrals. Sometimes parents request that their child get Title 1 assistance.
Q: Who gets help from Title 1?
A: Because we are a Title 1 school, anyone can receive help from the Title 1 teachers at any time. Much of the time the Title 1 teachers assist struggling students in the classroom or in pull-out classes. We help students that need extra instruction, more time to finish assignments, a quieter place to work, or a different method of instruction.
Q: Does my child get Title 1 help?
A: Probably. At some point through the year, almost every student will receive help from one of the Title 1 teachers. We assess throughout the year, giving teachers valuable information to tailor their instruction to individuals and small groups.
Q: Is my child missing important class time for Title 1?
A: No. If your child is receiving Title 1 services on a pull-out basis (he/she goes to the Title 1 teacher's office for a time) it is after important instruction and during a time when the class is doing independent work or meeting in small groups. Additionally, a student is only pulled for math during math time or reading during reading time. Very often the Title 1 office is simply a less distracting place to do work.
Q: Do you have to ask my permission to "serve" my child?
A: As a Title 1 School we serve all children. We are a presence in all classrooms and our goal is to see as many kids as possible.
Q: Does my Special Education child get help from Title 1 too?
A: Any Title 1 support your child receives is in a whole group setting and has nothing to do with their SPED goals or IEP.
