This workshop is focused upon developing a high-quality Title I program, which is a daunting task. Administrators and teachers need to be able to navigate the complex world of federal and state laws while meeting student needs. Districts must also be able to complete required Title I monitoring that occurs. This half-day session will give an overview of Title I law, help districts review their existing Title I plans, and help districts in developing a desk manual for its Title I program in the future.
Outcomes: Districts will better understand Title I, Part A programs, learn about effective practices from colleagues, and develop a desk manual that will contain testing procedures, timelines, set up windows for parent communication, assigned staff and roles, and much, much more.
