Title I Teachers:  Molly Broomhall and Deidre Ditton

What is Title I?

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) helps disadvantaged children meet challenging content and student performance standards. Title IA provides financial assistance through state to the schools with high numbers of children from low-income families, for school programs which target individual students most at risk of not meeting the standards, and to local institutions for neglected or delinquent children.

Desert (Wamsutter), Desert View, Northpark, Sage, Stagecoach, and Walnut Elementary Schools have Schoolwide Title I programs.

Literacy Support

Reading / ELA support is designed to strengthen students' reading and writing skills. Title 1  leaders and classroom teachers work together to assess students' strengths and needs to plan appropriate  instruction. Literacy instruction focuses on the five essential components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. They work in classrooms as well as with small groups of students. 

Math Support

The purpose of the math support is to increase  the achievement of students in Title 1 schools. Title 1 leaders focus on helping students develop math concepts, problem solving strategies, and computational skills. The Title team works with the classroom teachers to access students' strengths and needs and to plan appropriate math instruction. They work in classrooms as well as with small groups of students. 

Parent Involvement Policy

Response to Intervention ~ RTI / Achievement Monitoring Program ~ AMP

Here at Stagecoach we believe in providing the highest quality of education for all our students. We will be using the three tiered instructional approach to meet this goal in the district, referred to as Response to Intervention (RTI), which is part of the federal education law.

For RTI, all students will participate in the core-reading curriculum with three levels (tiers) of interventions for students who demonstrate at-risk skills in academics or behavior. Each tier provides additional support beyond the core curriculum. All students will be tested three times a year to measure their progress to determine their performance at grade level. Behavior expectations will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the year.

  • Tier One: Teachers will use different strategies within the core curriculum to address student's educational needs with support from their professional team.
  • Tier Two: Based on progress data, students who are unsuccessful in Tier One will be provided supplemental research-based interventions matched to their needs. The AMP team and instructional support team will monitor and track the student's progress and parents will receive ongoing progress data.
  • Tier Three: Students who continue to struggle in Tier Two will receive more intensive interventions at this level. Parents will receive ongoing progress data. After Tier Three implementation, students who continue to display limited progress may then be considered for further evaluation and services.

Our staff at Stagecoach is excited to take part in this process to assist and support all students to improve their educational outcomes.
