Title I – Part A
|
This program provides financial assistance
through State educational agencies (SEAs) to local educational agencies
(LEAs) and public schools with high numbers or percentages of poor
children to help ensure that all children meet challenging State
academic content and student academic achievement standards.
LEAs target the Title I funds they receive to public schools with the
highest percentages of children from low-income families. Unless a
participating school is operating a schoolwide program, the school must
focus Title I services on children who are failing, or most at risk of
failing, to meet State academic standards. Schools enrolling at least
40 percent of students from poor families are eligible to use Title I
funds for schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school.

Title II – Part A
|
The purpose of this program is to increase
student academic achievement through strategies such as improving
teacher and principal quality and increasing the number of highly
qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and
assistant principals in schools. Local educational agencies and schools
will be held accountable for improvements in student academic
achievement.
A vital aspect of NCLB is the nearly $3 billion in funding provided
through Title II to support improving teacher quality. Title II funds
can be spent on high-quality, ongoing professional development,
financial incentives for teachers in high-need locations and subjects,
effective mentoring and induction programs, teacher testing, teacher
advancement initiatives, and many other activities that support good
teachers and good teaching. These funds may be used to improve the
quality of principals as well.

Title II – Part D
|
The purpose of this program is to improve
student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary
and secondary schools. It will assist every student in crossing the
digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically
literate by the end of 8th grade. It will also encourage the effective
integration of technology though teacher training and curriculum
development to establish successful research-based instructional
methods.

Title III – LEP
|
The purpose of this program is to ensure
that limited English proficient (LEP) students, including immigrant
children and youth, develop English proficiency and meet the same
challenging state academic content and academic achievement standards
that other children are expected to meet. Schools will use these funds
to implement language instruction educational programs designed to help
LEP students achieve these standards. States, school districts, and
schools are accountable for increasing the English proficiency and core
academic content knowledge of LEP students.

Title V – Part A
|
The purpose of this program is to support
local education reform efforts that are consistent with and support
statewide education reform efforts. It provides funding to implement
promising educational reform programs and school improvement programs
based on scientifically-based research. It also provides a continuing
source of innovation and educational improvement, including support
programs to provide library services and instructional and media
materials. The educational needs of all students, including at-risk
youth, will be addressed. School districts will develop and implement
education programs to improve school, student, and teacher performance,
including professional development activities and class size reduction
programs.
