Title I Welcome to the John Reed Title I web page. Title
I is a federally funded program that offers instruction and support for
children who struggle in reading, writing and math. John Reed School
receives additional funding to hire our reading specialist and
assistants, purchase additional resources, and train or release
teachers for improving instructional strategies. The School Site
Council helps monitor, review and guide the decisions of how the money
is spent. The amount of funding for each school is based on students
with economic need. The state uses the Free and Reduced Lunch program
statistics. We
identify children to be served based on multiple assessments and
teacher recommendation. We look at state tests, local or school tests,
and student performance in class. The teachers meet to determine groups
and instructional support either in the class, with the reading
specialists coming into the class, or with small groups going to the
reading teacher. (Three Tiers of Intervention for Title I Programs) On
the state tests students are expected to reach the proficient bands. On
local assessments and class work we measure whether students are
meeting the grade level content standards. Parents
will be informed of student progress and assessments at conferences, on
report cards, and through mailed results. STAR results were sent out to
families with individual student results. Three Tiers of Intervention for Title I Programs Tier I: Differentiated Core Classroom Instruction Core
Classroom instruction reflects the instructional needs of kindergarten
through fifth grade based upon the results of benchmark testing. The benchmark testing is given three times per year (fall, winter, and spring). Ongoing
professional development provides teachers with the necessary tools to
ensure every student receives quality instruction. Tier II: Supplemental Classroom Instruction For
some students, core classroom instruction is not enough. In addition to
Tier I, Tier II is designed to meet the needs of these students by
providing them with additional small-group instruction daily. Tier III: Instruction for Intensive Intervention A
small percentage of students require more support in acquiring vital
skills than Tier I or Tier II instruction can provide alone. For
these students, the addition of Tier III will provide instruction that
is more explicit, more intensive, and specifically designed to meet
their individual needs. Helping Your Child Succeed in School Cómo ayudar a su hijo a tener éxito en la escuela However, the hours in a school
day are few and the time a teacher can spend with any one child is
limited. For children to be successful in school, parents and families
need to be actively involved in their children's learning. They need to
become involved early and stay involved throughout the school year. In
fact, many studies show that what the family does is more important to
a child's school success than how much money the family makes or how
much education the parents have.
