Parents can play an active role the learning process:

  • Engage your child in regular discussions about his or her education. Ask how classes, assignments or projects are going. Talk about what he or she has learned recently.
  • Contact your child’s teacher and request a conference at the first sign of difficulty. Remember, the classroom teacher is your ally. We all want your child to be successful!
  • Make completing homework or studying a priority for your child.
  • Encourage your child to take advantage of tutoring opportunities or remediation programs as necessary.

  

District 11 is closing the achievement gap between high- and low- performing children, especially the achievement gaps between minority and non-minority students, and between disadvantaged children and their more advantaged peers.

 

 

 

What We Believe

The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. This purpose can be accomplished by:

  • ensuring that high-quality academic assessments, accountability systems, teacher preparation and training, curriculum, and instructional materials are aligned with challenging State academic standards so that students, teachers, parents, and administrators can measure progress against common expectations for student academic achievement;

  • meeting the educational needs of low-achieving children in our Nation's highest-poverty schools, limited English proficient children, migratory children, children with disabilities, Indian children, neglected or delinquent children, and young children in need of reading assistance;

  • closing the achievement gap between high- and low-performing children, especially the achievement gaps between minority and non-minority students, and between disadvantaged children and their more advantaged peers;

  • holding schools, local educational agencies, and States accountable for improving the academic achievement of all students, and identifying and turning around low-performing schools that have failed to provide a high-quality education to their students, while providing alternatives to students in such schools to enable the students to receive a high-quality education;

  • distributing and targeting resources sufficiently to make a difference to local educational agencies and schools where needs are greatest;

  • improving and strengthening accountability, teaching, and learning by using State assessment systems designed to ensure that students are meeting challenging State academic achievement and content standards and increasing achievement overall, but especially for the disadvantaged;

  • providing greater decision-making authority and flexibility to schools and teachers in exchange for greater responsibility for student performance;

  • providing children an enriched and accelerated educational program, including the use of school-wide programs or additional services that increase the amount and quality of instructional time;

  • promoting school-wide reform and ensuring the access of children to effective, scientifically based instructional strategies and challenging academic content;

  • significantly elevating the quality of instruction by providing staff in participating schools with substantial opportunities for professional development;

  • coordinating services under all parts of this title with each other, with other educational services, and, to the extent feasible, with other agencies providing services to youth, children, and families; and

  • affording parents substantial and meaningful opportunities to participate in the education of their children.

About Title I

Title I is a federal formula grant that gives additional dollars to schools with high rates of poverty. These funds are to be used to increase reading and math achievement in these schools. Title I schools running school-wide programs may use federal dollars for any student in that school. School-wide Title I programs use funds to provide services such as, extended day programs, before or after school tutoring programs, summer interventions, increased professional development for staff members and supplies and materials that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
