Title I Targeted Assistance

Overview

Title I funds in a Targeted Assistance school must be used to improve the academic achievement of identified Title I students. Students must be identified based on multiple, objective, educationally related criteria. Criteria must also be generated to determine when a student may exit the Title I program. Title I supplemental services may be delivered in a number of ways, i.e., in-class instruction; pull-out instruction; and/or extended day, week, or year instruction.

Title I teacher(s) must be highly qualified and are responsible for providing supplemental services to identified students. Title I staff must coordinate with other school personnel and involve parents in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Title I program. Districts with private schools must consult with private school representatives before making final determinations about the use of Title I funds.

The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has developed a Title I, Part A Targeted Assistance Program Resource with examples of strategies, as well as potential advantages and considerations for each strategy. During the annual needs assessment process, consider these strategies as well as others for the development of the Title I, Part A program plan.
