Abstract | The Title I program, the federal government's largest elementary and secondary school program, has been redesigned in order to make improvements in the nation's poorest schools. This brochure describes a two-volume book that provides examples of schools and communities working together to provide children with more time to learn. The strategies provided in the book suggest that Title I, working with schools and communities, can contribute to enhanced learning outside of the traditional school day, work, or year. The featured programs base their activities on goals specifically set to address students' needs. Promising practices include the following: careful planning and design; links between the extended time and the regular academic program; a clear focus on using extended time effectively; a well-defined organization and management structure; parent and community involvement; a strong professional community; cultural sensitivity; a continuous search for funding; a willingness to resolve and work around obstacles; extended-time tutoring and homework-help sessions; and thoughtful evaluations of program success.
