Title 1 School: Nutshell definition?

Question

Hello All,

I have the opportunity to work at a Title 1 school. Can someone explain in laymen's terms what this is?

Also, does this have to do with "No Child Left Behind?" or is this another program ... if so ... can you "nutshell" this program also?

All I know is I am excited to work with children again -- they need our love and attention so very much.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Title I school- school where students meet poverty guidelines developed under the Title I legislation .

Answer 2

Title I began with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. It is intended to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach grade-level proficiency. Title I funds help students who are behind academically or at risk of falling behind. Services can include: hiring teachers to reduce class size, tutoring, computer labs, parental involvement activities, professional development, purchase of materials and supplies, pre-kindergarten programs, and hiring teacher assistants or others.
