Title 1oh1 Presented by Chris Shade 6/21/12

Title 1oh1? Yes! As in 101 or as in “Oh, I didn’t know that!” It’s also a twist

on the [music] group 3oh3!

See the slides at http://www.slideshare.net/chrisshade/title-1oh1-

presented-by-chris-shade-62112.

Let’s pause for a moment before we begin.

You have a classroom of 20 students.

The district administers a benchmark assessment.

You have limited resources to provide tutorials to 7 students.

How will you decide which students to tutor?

By looking at the data, you identify the 7 students most at-risk of failing to

meet the standard.

You see, you offer good, sound instruction to ALL 20 students throughout the school day using all of the resources you have been provided.

Good sound instruction for all

You offer good, sound instruction to all 20 students; and the majority of the students will benefit and progress with good sound instruction.

But, you have limited resources (time and supplemental materials) to provide supplemental instruction (i.e. before/after school tutorials).You must target these resources to the students identified most in need (i.e. the 7 students most in need of additional assistance from the previous graph).

Target supplemental resources to student

identified most in need

Since you have limited resources to provide additional instruction, you must target these resources to the students identified most at-

risk of failing to meet the standard.

Denton ISD Free and Reduced Lunch Percentages as of 4/16/2012

35-39%=Targeted Assistance

≥ 40%=Schoolwide

< 35%=Not served

The district has a range of 7% free and reduced lunch to 88%. Denton ISD

serves both elementary and middle schools, but the district does not

choose to serve high schools even though they may be eligible.

Why?

There is a common misconception about Title I funding. When additional campuses are added, federal funding does NOT increase. The money is divided amongst more campuses.It would be the same as having 12 kids over sharing a large pizza with each kid getting 1 slide of a 12-slice pizza. If 3 more kids knocked on the door, you’d have to take the 12 slides back (before they eat them), and slice it 15 ways thus providing smaller pieces to all.

There is a common misconception about Title campuses. When additional campuses are added, federal funding does NOT increase. The “pie” is divided amongst more campuses. It would be the same as having 12 kids over at your house sharing a pizza together. Each kid gets 1 slide of a 12-slice pizza. But, if 3 kids show up at the door, you have to take the 12 slides back (before they eat them), and slide it 15 ways. Because Title I funds are limited, the district opts to serve the elementary and middle school grade spans.

Since arriving in 2009, I’ve always wanted to be transparent with the

allocation of Title I funds.

Expenditures are determined by the campus principal based upon the

campus comprehensive needs assessment.

Can you buy the following with Title I funds? To know the answer(s), one

must refer to the OMB Circular A-87, which can be found at

http://www.tea.state.tx.us/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemI

D=2147506242&libID=2147506235.

Trophies? Yes and no. If they are nominal in costs, yes.

In this case, yes…

…in this case, no.

Conferences?

Yes. Cost of meetings and conferences including transportation, room

rental charges, speakers' fees, and items incidental to these

meetings/conferences.

of 31

Raffle tickets and door prizes?

No.

Alcoholic beverages?

Uh, no.

Snacks?

Yes. Nutritional snacks for students in extended day (i.e., after-school)

programs may be purchased with Title I funds.

of 31

Refreshments for staff?

No.

T-shirts?

No.

A field trip to an amusement park?

No.

of 31

A field trip to a wind farm?

Yes. Educational field trips are approved, planned instructional activities

that involve students in learning experiences that are difficult to duplicate

in a classroom situation. These field trips should provide hands-on

activities that encourage students to experiment and ask questions. The

field trip must support Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), must

be reasonable in cost, and must be necessary to accomplish the objectives

of the grant program. The field trip must also appear as a part of the

teacher’s lesson plans, which should include activities that prepare

students for the trip and follow-up activities that allow students to

summarize, apply, and evaluate what they learned from the trip.

Science camp?

Yes and no. If other campuses use local (non-Title I) funds to pay a similar

field trip, then a campus that receives Title I funds also has the ability to

pay out of its local (non-Title I funds). However, a campus may choose to

supplement the experience by attending two science camps…one paid

with local dollars and the other paid with Title I funds.

Food at parental involvement activities? Yes, you may when refreshments

are necessary to encourage participation/attendance by parents, such as

in low-income areas, and thus meet program activities.

of 31

You may not use Title I funds to provide refreshments or meals at an

awards event or banquet.

Yes, if the books are supplemental.

Yes, if the materials are supplemental.

No, you cannot spend Title I funds on mandatory training.

Yes.

Yes.

With federal funds comes red tape including the 10 components of a Title

I Schoolwide program:

A comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school (including taking into account the needs of migratory children) that is based on information on the performance of children in relation to the state content and student performance standards.

Schoolwide reform strategies that—

provide opportunities for all children to meet the state’s proficient and advanced levels of student performance; use effective methods and instructional strategies that are based on scientifically based research that—

strengthen the core academic program in the school; increase the amount and quality of learning time, such as providing an extended school year, before- and after-school and summer programs, and help provide an enriched and accelerated curriculum; and

include strategies for meeting the educational needs of historically underserved populations.

include strategies to address the needs of all children in the school, but particularly the needs of children of low-achieving children and those at risk of not meeting the state student academic achievement standards who are members of the target population of any program that is included in the schoolwide program, which may include

counseling, pupil services, and mentoring services; college and career awareness and preparation, such as

of 31

college and career guidance, personal finance education, and innovative teaching methods, which may include applied learning and team-teaching strategies; and

the integration of vocational and technical education programs; and

address how the campus will determine if such needs have been met; and

are consistent with, and are designed to implement, the state and local improvement plans, if any.

Instruction by highly qualified teachers.

High-quality, ongoing professional development for teachers, principals, and paraprofessionals and, if appropriate, pupil services personnel, parents, and other staff to enable all children in the school to meet the state’s student academic achievement standards.

of 31

Strategies to attract high-quality highly qualified teachers to high-need schools.

Strategies to increase parental involvement in accordance with Section 1118, such as family literacy services.

Plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs, such as Head Start, Even Start, Early Reading First, or a state-run preschool program, to local elementary school programs.

of 31

Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of academic assessments described in section 1111(b)(3) in order to provide information on, and to improve, the performance of individual students and the overall instructional program.

Activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement standards shall be provided with effective, timely additional assistance, which shall include measures to ensure that students’ difficulties are identified on a timely basis and to provide sufficient information on which to base effective assistance.

Coordination and integration occurs between federal, state, and local services and programs, including programs under NCLB, violence prevention programs, nutrition programs, housing programs, Head Start, adult education, vocational and technical education, and job training.
