Title 1
What is Title I?
Title I is a federally funded program that provides assistance to
schools to help meet the current educational needs of children in grades
K-4. The purpose of the Title I program is to provide children with
educational opportunities that promote development by helping them
succeed in the regular classroom, work toward attaining grade level
proficiency in reading and math, and improve achievement in basic
skills.
Who provides Title I instructional support?
Title I instructional support is provided by certified teachers. They
typically work with students in small groups for approximately 30
minutes a day in reading and/or math. They work with students either in
the classroom or in a resource room.

Do Title I students miss regular reading and math instruction?
No, they do not miss regular reading and math instruction. Title I
support is in addition to, not in place of, what the classroom teacher
regularly teaches. Students receive Title I services at times other than
their direct reading or math instruction time.
How long is a student in the program?
This depends upon the student's rate of progress. There is no set period
of time to be in the program. A student remains in the program until he
or she can perform independently at his or her grade level. Once this
happens, the student will no longer receive Title I services. This
change can take place at any time during the school year.
