Annual Title I Parent Meeting Aug. 20, 2018 10:00am and 7:30pm

What Is Title I? Title I is a federally funded program that provides additional instructional opportunities for students who demonstrate that they have some gaps in their learning. Students are then provided with instruction that supports classroom core curriculum and also provides for a “catch-up” format to insure that foundational skills are solidified. Bottom line: additional instruction beyond the core Title I instruction is guided by classroom teachers and delivered by highly- qualified instructional assistants. These services are supplemental to the 90 minute reading block of instruction.

How Would My Child Qualify? When a student demonstrates that there are gaps in learning, we establish other supports for them in addition to the regular core curriculum. Star 360 Assessment Common Assessment in the grade level Teacher recommendation

What Does Title I Look Like at Brentwood? Kindergarten-Fifth Grades: The Title 1 program at Brentwood Elementary focuses on early literacy and math intervention in Kindergarten through Fifth grades. We use research based literacy and mathematics instruction including software products, which are used to compliment the classroom core curriculum. Students who qualify for Title services receive an additional 30 - 40 minutes of pull-out literacy and or math instruction during RTI (Response to Intervention) time that focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, number sense, and computation.
