Description
In partnership with the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), the CESA 9 Title I Network provides technical assistance to Title I districts in meeting Title I requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
CESA 9 provides this support in the following areas:
-
Technical Assistance: Consultation via phone, electronically, or in-person throughout the year to support district compliance, record keeping, and program planning regarding Title I requirements under ESSA
-
Title I Coordinator Leadership: Information and resources for Title I coordinators through one-on-one technical assistance, two regional meetings, and a Title I coordinator orientation for those new to the role.
-
Resources and Collaboration: Information and resources regarding local and statewide initiatives and specific Title I related support
-
Technical Assistance Network for Improvement for Identified Schools: Schools identified under ESSA as comprehensive or targeted support will receive technical assistance in closing the identified achievement gaps. This assistance will focus on providing professional learning (e.g. training, networking) to strengthen equitable multi-level systems of support and promote effective continuous improvement.
These additional services are also offered through the Title I Network as a fee for service:
-
Technical assistance to districts in submitting the consolidated application for all Titles (Title I-A, II-A, II-D, III)
-
Respond to the DPI formal reviews
-
Assistance in preparing, submitting, and/or revising Title I budgets
-
Provide guidance, recommendations for compliance, and documentation for meeting the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) monitoring requirements. This would include on-site preparation and participation in the DPI’s Title I monitoring visit.
