1.Participants/parents will be able to provide 2 or 3 ways they will support their child’s educational learning process with the students’ teachers and administrators; measured over the school year for the purpose of parental engagement.
2. School administrators, teachers and a parental volunteer committee will identify critical resources including teaching staff, textbooks and technological devices that will foster student learning.
3. School administration with teacher and parental support will develop varied vehicles, such as meetings, town halls or school events to have participation of city government and elected officials in these events. The purpose of the official’s involvement is to solicit support for the Title 1 school in any means including monies.
Title 1 to me is money that come from the federal government that supplements how much money each state budgets for schools. This helps to provide more access to children that are in poverty, homelessness, living in state-run institutions, living in isolated rural districts, and those still learning the English language. The government put this program in to help close the education gap to the children at economic disadvantages. These programs should help to give all children the opportunity to education that others in more afluent areas. Though many times now children still do not have access to the same opportunities based on reasons outside of parents or childrens hands. We should always strive to give students access to education that can help develop them for the future. A lot of these communities and students are usually an after thought and never receive the assistance, support and promises given to help their futures. As a society we should strive to help all individuals to reach their dreams and full potential.
What Is Title 1?
As a student we are supported by our parents and teachers. But my reflection brings me to the thought, “who is supporting the teachers today”? Support in the way to help teachers continue to acquire skills and resources of the fast-changing demands within our society(U.S. Department of Education, 2023).
Education of students, of teachers and the supporting roles of parents, administrators, and government parties has to be a group effort, with the objective of a better society or the betterment of ALL. There should be no boundaries, party affiliation lines, or hierarchy of titles. Education is and must be life long, for all of us. Open-mindedness. Yes, this is hard to imagine, especially in light of current news events. But anything and everything is possible. Fighting or eliminating levels of poverty in our schools with Title 1 correctly utilized, hiring, and employing experienced teachers to help mentor new unexperienced teachers, and involving the total community is the need, commitment, and responsibility of the entire village (Luebchow, 2019). Success is only a reach away.
