  2. Title I Program • What is “Title I”? • Federal funding provided under No Child Left Behind • Schools receive Title I funds if they have 40% or more of their children identified as low income (students that receive free or reduced lunch) • At the end of last year Williston had 75% of children receiving F/R lunch

  3. Title I $$$$$$$$ • Money given to schools to provide support to help children who are struggling in reading and math. • Extra help may be provided in small groups or individually by the teacher, teacher assistant, or specialist Type of Program: • Williston is a School wide Title I program – all students may receive extra help as needed

  6. Federal Accountability Progress AYP: Adequate Yearly Progress • Federal Accountability under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) • AYP is measured by groups of students meeting set target goals each year • Only looks at proficiency • If just one student in a subgroup does not meet state target goals in reading or math, the school does not meet AYP • AYP target goals increase every three years until 2014 when 100% proficiency is expected

  7. School Improvement Strategies • Students participate in setting personal goals and monitoring progress • Integrating technology in instruction • Using strategies in the classroom to differentiate instruction • Involving families with progress monitoring

  10. Proficiency Levels • If a child does not reach a certain proficiency level when they take an assessment, they will receive additional help in the classroom through small group instruction and one on one interventions. • Each grade level has proficiency levels for each assessment. Your child’s teacher should share that information with you.

  11. NC EOG Proficiency Levels • Children in grades 6-8 will be taking the North Carolina End of Grade tests in reading, math and science(8). • Four Proficiency Levels • Level 4 – above expectations • Level 3 – Proficient • Level 2 – below expectations (inconsistent mastery) • Level 1 – below expectations (does not have mastery) • Our goal along with the state of NC is for your student to reach “Proficient – Level 3 or Above Proficient – Level 4”
