Title I at Enka Intermediate School and our goal of improving academic achievement for all EIS students.
Buncombe County School District and Title I empowers every student every day.
Enka Intermediate School’s mission is to deliver a world class education by promoting the highest levels of academic achievement. Title I supports this mission while promoting district goals.
A fundamental belief with both EIS and Title I is that it takes a village to raise a child. Title I promotes community partnerships within the county.
EIS and Title I are also committed to providing the best instructional classrooms for students. Title 1 supports teacher quality through ongoing professional development.
EIS and Title 1 are committed to setting high expectations and accountability for all.
Title 1 provides funding for 2 teachers, 8 assistants and 2 tutors. The additional staff helps lower the teacher to student ratio for small group and individual instruction.
What is Title I?
Title I comes from the elementary and secondary act of 1965. It used to be known as “No child left behind”.
The purpose of this act is that all students should have a fair, equal and significant opportunity for a high quality education.
How does a school become a Title 1 school?
Enka Intermediate became a Title one school using data from free and reduced lunch numbers.
EIS has two Title I Models including Targeted Assistance and School Wide programming.
Title I focuses on reading and math. The program uses research based programs, increases family involvement and requires highly effective teachers and assistants.
Title I provides Intervention groups for both fifth and sixth grade.
The benefits of being a Title 1 school.
All Title 1 Schools write a Title 1 Plan. The plan is the guiding document for the school.The Plan addresses a number of areas. The main goal is to improve student academic achievement. Our plan is located on our school webpage.
Title I purchased the literacy curriculum used in the classroom. It also provides money for substitutes allowing for professional development,
Books for the classroom and leveled text are provided through Title 1 Funds.
Most importantly, Title 1 funds work to increase family involvement. We do this by having events throughout the year.This year we will be having literacy and transition nights.
We will provide a Title 1 Compact. This compact shows the responsibilities of your child, the parents and the teachers.
We believe that there is a shared responsibility for student learning and success.
This compact explains how everyone contributes to the success of your child.
