Assessment/Accountability No Child Left Behind
Title I

Title I Part A provides federal dollars for supplemental educational opportunities for disadvantaged children who are most at risk of failing to meet the State's challenging content and performance standards. Title I gives districts the opportunity to create two types of school-based programs: Targeted Assistance and Schoolwide.

• A Targeted Assistance program is one in which individual students in a school are targeted to receive Title I services. Students are identified based upon multiple, educationally related objective criteria. Services may be delivered in a number of ways. Title I teachers in Targeted Assistance schools are responsible for providing these services, coordinating with other school personnel as needed, and involving parents in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the Title I program.

• A Schoolwide program permits an eligible school to use Title I Part A funds in combination with State and local resources and most other federal education program funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school to raise the academic achievement of all students. In contrast to Targeted Assistance programs, Schoolwide programs are not required to deliver services to specific students, since every student in the school is involved in the program.
