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 handbook comprises the second of two volumes that provide examples of schools and communities working together to provide children with more time to learn. The book includes detailed profiles of 14 programs that extend learning time for disadvantaged students in diverse settings. The featured programs base their activities on goals specifically set to address students' needs. Each of the program descriptions provides information on school context and major program features such as academic focus, organizational management/structure, professional environment, funding, parent and community involvement, cultural inclusiveness, and assessment and accountability. Implementation issues and evidence of program success are also highlighted. The programs illustrate how Title I, working with schools and communities, can contribute to enhanced learning outside of the traditional school day, work, or year. Appendices contain contact information, a list of planning resources, and a planning/implementation checklist. (LMI) |
