2. Overview
Title I is a federally funded program. The school must comply with federal guidelines.
Title I provides extra educational assistance beyond the regular classroom to at-risk students.
Title I is a pull-out program, in which students come into the Title I classroom for services in reading, math, or both. Title I teachers have the flexibility to work on concepts students need in order to be successful in the classroom. My job is to confer constantly with the classroom teachers about the individual needs of their Title I students. Title I provides supplementary services to what is being learned or needs to be mastered in the classroom.
Your child may be seen individually, or with a small group of other students who have similar needs. A Title I session may be between minutes, depending on your child’s needs
