Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA/ESEA) is a federal funding program designed to close achievement gaps and ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.
Many schools receiving Title I Part A funding operate Schoolwide Programs, implementing overall school improvements to ensure that systems, practices, and programs are effectively aligned to reduce gaps and support every student’s achievement.
School-wide Programs in the AASD identify a vision for students’ academic and socioemotional success and align school improvement plans to this vision. Such programs also articulate a plan to engage parents and caregivers as stakeholders in their children’s education and in the implementation of a Title I school improvement plan.
LITERACY and MATH
When all students in our school are engaged in the general education classroom in the daily universal lesson, and receive growth-based instruction and feedback based upon individualized need, ALL students will make one year’s growth as measured on i-Ready, and 40% of students below grade level will meet stretch growth goals on the i-Ready diagnostic assessments in the spring of 2026.
Aligned actions:
- Progress Monitoring
- Active engagement in capacity building (PD, PLC, etc)
- Establish purposeful collaboration with specialist(s) utilizing mutual scheduling on universal instruction, individualized learning, co-teaching, etc.
- Daily number talks
- Celebrate student and educator growth
SEL
By the spring of 2026, we will decrease the percentage of students considered chronically absent by 3.7% and will decrease the male:female ratio of office disciplinary referrals from 3:1 to 2:1.
