Lovell Middle School Title I Procedures

Students who have not been identified as a student with a disability but still need Tier 2 or 3 assistance in reading or math, may become Title I students. (English Learner, McKinney-Vento, 504 students are also considered Title I)

For Lovell Middle School, this means they may be enrolled in an “extension” class. The following are possible tools that may be used in a math, reading or writing extension class:

Math                                      Reading                          Writing             

IXL                                                 System 44                               IXL

Title I Identification - Students are identified as needing Tier 2 or 3 assistance based on several data points:

FastBridge benchmarking

WY-TOPP (Interim and Summative)

Classroom assessments

Teacher judgment

Extenuating circumstances/referrals 

Students who are below grade level in these areas may be placed in an extension class. Students who are borderline are placed in a co-taught class for reading and math, but not yet considered Title I.

English/Language Arts (ELA) and math data teams (PLCs) meet each semester to determine if students are correctly placed or need to be moved into or exited from an extension class.

Progress Monitoring - Students in an extension class are progress monitored at least twice a month using FastBridge. This data is reviewed by the teachers of the extension classes. Each semester the math/ELA extension teachers review this data, as well as program data or other student data listed above to decide if the current instruction is appropriate or should be adjusted. They confer with the classroom teachers of individual students as needed.

Exiting - For a student to be exited from Title I, he/she must be proficient for most of the above assessments. The team reviews the data quarterly; however, students who are exited from an intervention will remain “Title I” for the next term. This is so the team will continue to monitor the student to determine that intervention supports are no longer needed. If the team believes the student needs supports again, the student may be pulled back into an intervention. If the student is maintaining proficiency, he/she will then be exited. There is a transition process for students who are not ready to exit, but are entering Lovell High School.
