Title 1 Programs

What is Title I?

Title I, Part A - provides opportunities for children to acquire the knowledge and skills to meet the State proficiency standards. This purpose is accomplished in two ways: (1) by providing children supplemental support through enriched and accelerated education programs; and (2) by providing instructional personnel in participating schools with substantial opportunities for professional development.

TITLE 1 AT HERON POND

The Title I Program at Heron Pond Elementary School provides supplemental instruction, in both reading and mathematics, in grades 2-5. Students first receive whole class instruction from their classroom teachers. Subsequently, Title I interventionists provide small group, supplemental instruction with the goal of improving the foundational reading and/or math skills of students.

Title I groups meet daily, Monday-Thursday. Reading groups range from 30 to 60 minutes in length, while the majority of math groups last 30 minutes. Additionally, some students participate in math practice using computer-based programs first thing in the morning, either in addition to or in lieu of another math group throughout the day.

WHAT PROGRAMS DO WE USE?

Our reading interventions include Fundations, Wilson Fluency, Comprehension Toolkit, Keys to Literacy strategies, Fluency Tutor and Lexia-Core 5. Our mathematics interventions include differentiated Everyday Math and Do the Math. Additionally, we incorporate computer based programs such as ALEKS and RedBird.
