TEKAMAH-HERMAN TITLE I 2020-2021
WHAT IS TITLE I? Title I is part of the EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT (ESSA). Title I is a federally funded program that provides support for students and groups of students who are at risk of not meeting NSCAS standards. Tekamah-Herman is a Schoolwide Title I program. This means that any child may receive Title I assistance.
WHAT DOES TITLE I LOOK LIKE IN OUR SCHOOL? *Structures are in place to support at-risk students and monitor student learning: Students are screened using Acadience Math, Acadience Reading, and MAP Individual student plans are used to monitor goals, interventions and progress Individual/small group instructional time is added Student progress is monitored weekly by classroom teachers during PLC meetings and weekly by Title teachers
NEBRASKA READS PLAN In July 2018, the legislature enacted the Nebraska Reading Improvement Act (Section 79-2601-79-2607) that ensures students have the necessary supports to read proficiently by grade 3. Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, the law outlines a number of processes to identify struggling readers and provide focused interventions. While most of the exemplary practices described in the legislation are already happening in schools across the state, the law brings a renewed emphasis to the importance of early literacy and an opportunity to accelerate reading proficiency for some students. This early literacy law requires districts and schools to set in motion procedures to identify and support students who demonstrate challenges with early reading. These include early and frequent screening, parental notification, the design of an Individualized Reading Improvement Plan (IRIP), and supplemental reading intervention services. The Nebraska Reading Improvement Act states:
THE LAW. Any student who is identified as having a reading deficiency shall receive an individual reading improvement plan no later than thirty days after the identification of such reading deficiency. The reading improvement plan may be created by the teacher, the principal, other pertinent school personnel, and the parents or guardians of the student and shall describe the reading intervention services the student will receive through the supplemental reading intervention program pursuant to section 24 of this act to remedy such reading deficiency. Each such student shall receive reading intervention services through the supplemental reading intervention program pursuant to section 24 of this act until the student is no longer identified as having a reading deficiency.
INDIVIDUAL READING IMPROVEMENT PLAN Tekamah-Herman students who require an Individual Reading Improvement Plan: have received notice from Mrs. Rusk, have received a copy of their child s improvement plan, have been given ideas for help at home, will be assessed in January 2020 to check improvement, will either continue with their improvement plan or be released from it, will be assessed again in April/May 2020 to monitor progress.
