Hope Creek Elementary School qualifies for Title I funding as based upon the percentage of students receiving free-and-reduced lunch. Using previous years data, the School Improvement Team established priority goals including increased parental involvement, increased student engagement through the use of research-based strategies and technology use. Title I funds will be used to cover the costs associated with the school-wide priorities. In order to increase parental and community involvement, various workshop opportunities will be provided spanning a broad spectrum of learning experiences across all content areas and aligned to the Common Core Standards. Such workshops may address the following: literacy, Common Core Standards, and End-OfGrade test preparation. To ensure that Hope Creeks teachers are equipped with the skillsets and strategies necessary to authentically engage students in learning experiences along with increased technology use, school wide and teacher/ subject/ grade level specific professional development will be necessary. Professional development for staff may include; Common Core development, technology training, professional learning community support, research-based instructional practices, Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS), and Response to Intervention (RTI). In order to dismiss staff members for professional development opportunities, money to compensate substitutes will also be taken from Title I.
