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.
