ESEA/ESSA - Title I, II, III, IV

Title I Programs

Title I is a federally funded program, part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. ESEA was reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (EESA). Title I provides supplemental funding for resources to help schools, with high concentrations of students from low-income families, provide a high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the state’s student performance standards. Title I, Part A supports schools in implementing either a school wide program or a targeted assistance program. These programs must use effective methods and instructional strategies that are grounded in scientifically based research.

The program is designed to accomplish four primary goals:

provide supplementary education to students eligible for services;
provide additional funding to schools and districts serving high concentrations of children from low-income families;
focus educators on the needs of special student populations; and
improve the academic achievement of eligible students, reduce performance gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged students, and assist eligible students in meeting high academic standards.
