Title I-A: Improving Basic Programs is a federal program that helps students who are most at risk meet state academic standards and be proficient on state assessments. This program provides funding to districts and schools that can be used for professional development, extended-time programs, and other strategies to help raise achievement levels. Title I-A laws hold states, districts, and schools accountable for improving the academic achievement of all students.

The Idaho English Learner (EL) Program and Title III assist school districts with federal and state requirements of English Language Learners (ELLs). We help districts create, implement, and maintain development programs that provide equal learning opportunities for ELLs. Our goal is to develop curricula and teaching strategies that embrace each learner’s unique identity to help break down barriers that prevent ELLs from succeeding in school.

Family and Community Engagement (FACE) plays an important role in the academic success of students. School, family, and community partnerships provide a circle of support for students to be successful today and in the future.

We encourage schools that have had success in family and community involvement to share ideas and best practices.

In order to meet these provisions, the Idaho State Department of Education and the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare collaborate to ensure that students in foster care have the opportunity to achieve at the same high level as their peers. ation.
