Partner to Reach Student Success

Moving Beyond Compliance Utilize compliance as a utensil, rather than the centerpiece of reform (Mausbach 2017) 1/3 of Indiana Title I program administrators were in their first year of service in 2017-2018.

Effective teachers How will the school identify and address any disparities that result in low-income students and minority students being taught at higher rates by ineffective, inexperienced, or out-of-field teachers? Minority students in Indiana are over FOUR times as likely to be taught by an ineffective teacher when at a Title I school, as compared to if enrolled in a non-Title I

• school. Low-income Title I students are 33% more likely

to be taught by an inexperienced teacher than in non- Title I schools

Scenario A

Partner to Reach Student Success

High-quality early learning How will the school support the transition of preschool children into the local elementary school? The number of Indiana children enrolled in high- quality early learning programs has increased by 500% over the past five years!

Supportive learning environments Title I: How will the school identify and implement instructional and other strategies to strengthen academic programs and school conditions for learning? Title IV: Indiana received TRIPLE the funding as compared to last year. All eligible LEAs will receive minimum 10k. Indiana ranks THIRD in the country of high school students who seriously considered attempting suicide. 1:5 of our students have a mental health concern, yet

• nly 1:10 have access to services.

Systemic plans designed to increase student achievement Through Indiana’s ESSA plan, all Title I schools are now eligible to become schoolwide, rather than operate as a targeted program. A new Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA), highlighted nationally, exists for the Comprehensive Support & Improvement schools. In the past five years, over 100,000 more students are served through Title I schoolwide programs.

English Learners Ten percent of the federal accountability grade will be focused upon the growth to proficiency of English learners. In past five years, state EL funding has nearly tripled. In SY 18-19, Indiana will begin piloting I-ILP to support tracking, goal setting, and evaluation for EL services. On-time, EL grad rate is 60.7%. The rate for all students is 89.6%.

Evidence-based ESSA greatly emphasized the effectiveness of programming, through evidence, rather than just research. Some uses of funding require the evidence-based research, at varying levels. Many sessions are offered throughout the conference to support this shift, as well as other resources. Distinguished schools and LEAs are great examples of this:

• Thomas Jefferson Elementary (Valparaiso)
• Fairmont Elementary (New Albany Floyd County)
• Fort Wayne Community Schools
