Littlewood Elementary School Title I

MISSION STATEMENT

Title I, a federally funded program in Alachua County, provides supplemental academic support in reading and writing for educationally disadvantaged children. The program fosters a partnership that is interactive between schools, families, and communities. Through the use of research based instructional models, computer assisted instruction, supplemental curriculum materials, and developmentally appropriate activities, students receive instruction that enables them to become responsible citizens in a democratic society. In a risk free environment, all learners interact in child centered experiences designed to foster success in the academic setting and real life situations.

Specifically, the mission of Title I is:

	To provide a child-centered, risk-free environment for students in grades K-5.
	To surround students with printed materials in a language rich environment that focuses on vocabulary development and strengthens listening, speaking, writing, and reading skills.
	To involve students in developmentally appropriate activities designed to improve academic performance by introducing readiness experiences and supplemental reinforcement/practice for basic/advanced skills.
	To provide training for all staff to ensure that research based instructional techniques and materials are available for all students.
	To utilize technology to maximize program effectiveness in the management of data and support of instruction.
	To support and facilitate interagency cooperation in order to provide programs that are holistic and child centered.
	To integrate Title I into the school by collaborating with personnel at all levels.
	To develop a partnership of family, school, and community which assesses and addresses the needs of the family, and provides continuous support.
