Title I is short for the Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965, reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. 

Title I is the nation’s largest federal assistance program for schools

The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children regardless of race/ethnicity or social-economic status have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and to reach high academic standards of achievement on state assessments/tests.

Title I serves millions of elementary and secondary students in schools each year through either school wide or targeted assistance programs.

 Identify students most in need of educational help

 Set goals for improvement; state standards help schools measure progress by comparing assessments of all students

 Measure student progress using standards set in the state’s Title I plan; student progress is measured each year by administrators, teachers and parents to ensure all students are reaching the goals set for improvement

Involve parents/guardians in all aspects of the program;  a parent/student/teacher/school compact helps parents understand and take part in the school’s efforts.

The parent/student/teacher/school compact states the goals and responsibilities of parents, students and schools.
