Parent Engagement in Title I Programs
With parental input, Title I programs, activities and procedures will aim to:
- Inform parents/guardians about the program’s instructional objectives and methods.
- Support parents/guardians to work with their students at home in support of instructional objectives, understand program requirements and build a partnership between the home and the school.
- Educate staff to work effectively with the parents/guardians of students.
- Continually consult with parents/guardians about ways they and the school can better cooperate to achieve program objectives.
- Provide parents/guardians many different, timely opportunities to:
- Learn how the program will be designed, operated and evaluated.
- Participate in this process.
- Work together with educators in achieving program objectives.
- Ensure, insofar as practical, that opportunities for full participation are given to parents/guardians who lack literacy skills or whose native language is not English.
The following procedures will be taken to implement goals and to ensure that parents/guardians are consulted and participate in the planning, design, implementation and evaluation of Title I programs:
- Policies ensuring parental involvement in Title I programs will be made available to parents/guardians and will be subject to ongoing review.
- Title I schools will invite all parents/guardians to attend meetings each year in order to discuss Title I programs and activities.
- Parents/guardians will be informed of Title I parental engagement requirements and their right to consult in the program's design and implementation.
- Parents/guardians of children participating in Title I programs will receive information about the programs and will have multiple opportunities to meet regularly to formulate program input.
- Staff will provide parents/guardians with reports on their children's progress. Insofar as practical, individual parent-teacher conferences also will be held to discuss the student's progress and placement and to develop strategies with parents to implement at home.
- Title I program staff will be readily accessible to parents/guardians and will permit parents/guardians to observe program activities.
