The Title I-A program addresses the needs of all students in school, particularly the needs of those children who are failing, or are at-risk of failing, to meet the challenging State academic standards and any other factors determined by the LEA. The program uses methods and instructional strategies that strengthen the academic program . ESSA Section 1115 (TAS) and Section 1116 (SWP)

All children served by Title I-A in a Targeted Assistance building are identified as failing, or most at risk of failing to meet the challenging State academic standards on the basis of multiple, educationally related, objective criteria established by the LEA and supplemented by the school. ESSA Section 1115(b)

Schoolwide programs address the needs of all students in school, particularly the needs of those children who are failing, or are at-risk of failing, to meet the challenging State academic standards and any other factors determined by the LEA. ESSA Section 1116

Approximately 20-40 minutes of instructional time 3-5 days a week is recommended by the Institute of Education Sciences. This includes before-and-after school programs, summer programs, and programs during regular school hours. The program minimizes removing children from the regular classroom during regular school hours for instruction.

The progress of participating students is done on an ongoing basis, and if necessary, revisions to the program are made to provide additional assistance to enable the students to meet the academic standards. Ongoing progress monitoring data would identify whether or not the program is working and if the amount of time or instructional strategies needs to be adjusted for improved academic performance.
