<td rowspan="17"><p><strong>Status:</strong> No 1999 data but progress
toward the target is likely. Data for the 1998-99 school year will
become available in fall 2000.</p>
<p><strong>Explanation:</strong> Although the number of states with
aligned performance standards and 2 years of data disaggregated by
school poverty level rose only slightly between 1997 and 1998, the rate
of increase is expected to accelerate as the 2001 deadline approaches
for state reporting of disaggregated results.</p>
<p>While all states are required to have disaggregated data, not all
states are likely to have 2 years of achievement data from their final
aligned assessment system for reporting in the 2001-02 school year.</p>
<p>The number of states that reported an increase in the percentage of
students in schools with at least 50 percent poverty who met proficient
and advanced levels of performance in both reading and mathematics rose
from 7 states in 1997 to 10 states in 1998. All but one of the states
with the necessary assessment data reported increased achievement in
their high-poverty schools.</p></td>

<p><em>Frequency:</em> Annually.</p>
<p><em>Next Update:</em> 1999.</p>
<p><strong>Validation Procedure:</strong> Verified by Department
attestation process and <u>Standards for Evaluating Program Performance
Data</u>.</p>
<p><strong>Limitations of Data and Planned Improvements:</strong> There
is substantial variation across states in their definitions of
proficient student performance as well as alignment of content and
performance standards. All states are in the transitional period for
final assessments and accountability systems. The first peer review of
state final assessment systems will take place in January 2000. All
states will be required to submit evidence of their final aligned
assessments by October 2000.</p></td>

**[Key Strategies]{.smallcaps}**

[Strategies]{.underline} [Continued from 1999]{.underline}

-   Continue collaborating with professional organizations, providing
    technical assistance, and disseminating descriptions of successful
    extended-time and research-based practice and programs to promote
    school-level improvement.

-   Continue to assist states as they develop and implement challenging,
    aligned systems of standards, assessments, and accountability.

-   Continue the support for increased parent and family involvement.

# 

# New or Strengthened Strategies

-   Disseminate the findings from the National Research Council\'s
    reports, "Preventing Reading Difficulties," and "Starting Out Right"
    to all Title I Coordinators and to all Title I teachers. Use
    integrated review teams' follow-up stage to determine whether Title
    I teachers are using the research-based reading practices described
    in the reports in their classrooms.

-   Disseminate new "Compact for Reading" guide to help parents and
    other caregivers reinforce reading instruction.

-   Assist states and high-poverty school districts in the development,
    implementation, and refinement of aligned systems of standards,
    assessments, and accountability.

-   Provide expert peer consultants and target technical assistance and
    dissemination efforts about standards, assessments, and
    accountability to those states and school systems that have the
    greatest need for assistance.

-   Sponsor national, regional, and statewide forums that focus on
    moving content standards into the classroom, particularly in
    high-poverty schools.

-   Work with Comprehensive Centers and Regional Labs to develop,
    disseminate, and demonstrate various approaches to transform state
    content standards into everyday teaching practice in Title I
    high-poverty schools across the nation.

-   Disseminate research-based and promising practices of effective
    implementation of Title I provisions in order to accelerate the
    progress of districts and schools toward better student achievement,
    particularly in high-poverty and low-performing states, districts,
    and schools.

-   Disseminate to all state and local education agencies guidance about
    how to use Title I and other Federal program funds to support
    extended learning time programs.

-   Initiate a study of the programs, policies, and practices in
    districts that provide good career development opportunities for
    teacher aides.

-   Initiate studies that focus on implementation challenges and
    successes associated with aligned standards, assessment, and
    accountability systems.

##### Invite nationally recognized experts to work with Title I and Comprehensive Center staff to design a Resource Guide for aligning curricula to standards. 

**[How This Program Coordinates]{.smallcaps}** **[With Other Federal
Activities]{.smallcaps}**

-   To assist state educational agencies in meeting timelines for final
    aligned assessment and accountability systems, the Compensatory
    Education Program office is leading the effort to provide ED and
    peer expert assistance, in collaboration with the Goals 2000 Program
    office and the OESE Standards, Assessment, and Accountability team.
    The Department has produced guidance for peer reviewers of states'
    evidence of such systems, has conducted orientation sessions for
    state agency teams, and continues to make available expert Peer
    Consultants to all states, paying particular attention to those
    states that may not meet the timelines as required by the Title I

-   To assess the impact of Title I preschool literacy programs in
    preparing at-risk children for success in kindergarten, a study is
    being designed for such purpose in collaboration with the
    Department's office of Planning and Evaluation Services, and the
    Even Start and Head Start programs, which are administered by the
    Department of Health and Human Services.

| -   While states, districts, and schools encounter many challenges in |
|     having at-risk students meet challenging standards, the following |
|     challenges comprise the "short" list outlined in the final report |
|     of the National assessment of Title I, [Promising Results,        |
|     Continuing Challenges]{.underline}. These challenges are also     |
|     addressed in the Administration's proposal for the                |
|     reauthorization of Title I of the ESEA as well as in the          |
|     program's new or strengthened strategies listed above.            |

|     -   ED concern for 15 states that may not have final aligned      |
|         state assessment systems within established timelines, and    |
|                                                                       |

| -   Although the NAEP data indicate that students at the bottom 25th  |
|     percentile showed increasing scores in both reading and math at   |
|     all three grade levels, the rate of growth will need to           |

    indicator has been dropped as described above.

**[Indicator Changes (continued)]{.smallcaps}**

######### Adjusted

-   FY 1999 Indicator 3.1 (teacher training linked to standards) was
    dropped in FY 2000.

-   FY 1999 Indicator 3.2 (qualified teacher aides) was modified in FY
    2000 Indicator 2.6 to shift the focus from credentials to district
    support for the educational improvement through career ladders for
    paraprofessionals and aides. FY 2001 Indicator 2.5 retains the FY
    2000 indicator and expands to include qualified staff in Title I
    schools.

    FY 2001 Indicator 2.3 has been changed to reflect a broader
    assessment of the effectiveness of parental involvement programs.

-   FY 1999 Indicator 5.2 (improved attendance and homework completion)
    was not included in FY 2000 Indicator 2.5 but was used instead as

    dropped for FY 2000.

[Dropped]{.underline}---None.

**From FY 2000** **Annual Plan** **(last year's)**

[Adjusted]{.underline}

-   Indicator 2.4 (research-based curriculum and instruction) has been
    dropped because of lack of quality data.

-   Indicator 2.5 (school-parent compacts) is now Indicator 2.3,
    expanded to include broader parental involvement approaches to
    improve student performance.

-   Indicator 2.6 (qualified teacher aides) is now Indicator 2.4
    (qualified staff), which has been expanded to include the proportion
    of Title I staff who are teachers.

-   Indicator 2.7 (services to private school students) has been dropped
    because the planned study was not conducted.

-   Indicator 3.1 (establishing annual progress measures) has been
    revised to delete the wording "that are more rigorous than those
