Non-Regulatory Guidance

Non-Regulatory Guidance Aligning Title I and School Reform When aligned, reforms result in significant progress (e.g., graduation rates rise, college attendance rises, drop-out rates decline) ESSA includes provisions to enable schools to provide a well-rounded education

Non-Regulatory Guidance Using Title I Schoolwide Programs to Support School Reform Flexibility is given to schools in determining how best to improve achievement of at-risk students Benefits from Operating a Schoolwide Program May serve all students May consolidate federal, state, and local funds to better address needs of students

Non-Regulatory Guidance Implementing a Schoolwide Program Conducting a comprehensive needs assessment Serves needs of at-risk students Consults with all stakeholders Analysis to gain understanding of root causes Preparing a comprehensive schoolwide plan Describes how plan will improve academic achievement for all – especially at-risk students Describes the “what” and “how” to meet student needs Should include benchmarks/progress monitoring

Non-Regulatory Guidance Implementing a Schoolwide Program Annually Evaluating the Schoolwide Plan Uses data from State Assessments Perception Data Determines the effectiveness of the plan Thorough comprehensive needs assessment Student data Surveys Perception data School climate data

Non-Regulatory Guidance Implementing a Schoolwide Program Upgrade Entire Educational Program to Improve Achievement of Lowest Performing Students Instruction School climate Behavior Mental health

Non-Regulatory Guidance Using Federal Funds Flexibly in a Schoolwide Program Provide opportunities for all children to meet state academic standards High quality pre-school or full-day kindergarten Use methods and high quality instructional strategies to provide a well-rounded education (e.g., coaches, increased learning time)

Non-Regulatory Guidance Using Federal Funds Flexibly in a Schoolwide Program Address the needs of all students, especially those that are at risk English Learners accelerate the acquisition of content knowledge Counseling services to improve non-academic school climate intervention Early identification

Non-Regulatory Guidance Using Federal Funds to Supplement School Reform Despite flexibility of schoolwide programs, schools may only use funds to supplement funds that are available from State and local sources in the absence of federal funds

Non-Regulatory Guidance Time to Process: How does this affect you as the Title I Designee? How does this affect how your school’s Title I Program functions? How will your school’s Title I Program effectively support the learning of the lowest achieving students?
