Title 1
Lincoln Academy receives Title I funds. Lincoln Academy uses Title I funds to provide additional aides and support in the elementary school. This support happens in the classroom and through pull-out groups. Students receive support from qualified paraprofessionals with Bachelor Degrees primarily in language arts and math.

More About Title 1
How does Lincoln Academy utilize Title 1 for Mastery Time?
Mastery Time is a school-wide differentiation plan for grades 1 – 6. Title 1 and Mastery Time go hand in hand. Mastery Planning Time impacts the most students when all team members (all grade-level teachers and Title 1 aides) can be present during the meeting and talk through student data together to make decisions about identified students. It is recommended that PLC grade-level groups collaborate together ahead of time to decide how Title 1 aides can support identified students.
Mastery Time is fulfilling its true purpose when grade-level teams teach the same objective across their rooms during Mastery Time. Students who have not met the objective of a grade-level common assessment are given intervention lessons/activities led by Title 1 aides to provide them more time and targeted instruction to meet that objective. Students who have shown proficiency in that objective are given enrichment opportunities or taught the higher-level standard during that same time of the day. We are so fortunate to have a school-wide model where we also have TAs in every classroom to lean on as instructors in any of those settings in order to help even more students get what they need.
General Information
Our school is a Targeted Assistance School where we can support students in being successful with core curriculum standards by working directly with them.
Title 1 focuses on support with reaching goals in Language Arts Core as well as Math Core standards.
Students can work directly with Title 1 Aides when they are identified by their General Education teacher using some sort of assessment: DIBELS, Acadience, Diagnostics, Common Formative Assessments.
After students have been identified, General Education teachers can begin the Title 1 referral process by submitting a ticket through the Lincoln Website. Click on the Title 1 category and enter more specific information about that student’s goals. Title 1 will receive that information and be in contact with you about next steps.
If you have a student that works with Title 1, communicate with the aides! Communicate the learning objectives for the student. They are a fabulous Progress Monitoring resource.
