Supports for Engish Learners - Title III
Title III grants are awarded to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to help ensure that English Learners, including immigrant children and youth, attain English proficiency and develop high levels of academic achievement in English; assist all English Learners, including immigrant children and youth, to achieve at high levels in academic subjects so that all English Learners can meet the same challenging State academic standards that all children are expected to meet; assist teachers, principals, and other school leaders, and LEAs to develop and enhance their capacity to provide effective instructional programs designed to prepare English learners, including immigrant children and youth, to enter all-English instructional settings; and promote parental, family, and community participation in language instruction educational programs for the parents, families, and communities of English Learners.
Our district uses Title III money to provide for a parent liaison to engage the parents of English Learners, professional development for teachers to design effective instructional programs for English Learners, and the purchase of supplies to help English Learners meet challenging State academic standards.
