• GENERAL INFORMATION

     

    Title I is a federally funded supplemental education program that provides funds to districts to improve educational opportunities for children.  Title I programs are designed to help children meet the state content and performance standards in reading, language arts, and mathematics.    

     

    The East Stroudsburg Area School District district’s six elementary schools use Federal funds (Title 1) to provide timely interventions for all students in kindergarten through grade 5 who begin to experience difficulty in the academic area of Reading and Writing.  This is done through a school – wide model of targeted interventions called RtII (Response to Instruction and Intervention).  The goal of the data-driven RtII model is to provide varying degrees of intervention through a collaborative approach.  Identification of students to receive this targeted instruction is based upon results of state and local assessments, benchmark and diagnostic assessments, progress monitoring assessments, and classroom performance.  Each elementary building has developed a unique schedule to address student needs when providing systematic, explicit and multi-sensory researched-based intervention lessons.

    Parents/guardians of any student in kindergarten to grade 5 will receive ongoing information regarding their child's progress through intern progress reports and parent/teacher conferences, was well as phone and email communications as needed. Information is shared during parent/teacher conferences.  Fliers are sent home regarding various parent workshops offered through out the year.  Each elementary building hosts several family literacy nights for their specific school population.  The District encourages parents/guardians to attend as many of these events as possible.


    Additional reading resources for parents can be found on this District Title 1 page as well as on individual elementary school webpages. These pages are also available under the For Parents tab on each individual school webpage.
