-
New provisions in Title I, the federal government's largest elementary and secondary school program, encourage greater use of funds in high-poverty secondary schools. This handbook is the second of a two-volume series designed to support the implementation of the new Title I legislation. The volume illustrates how 13 middle and high schools have successfully put the principles of good practice to work and improved academic outcomes for their at-risk students. It suggests ways in which Title I can be used effectively at the high school level to achieve better results for disadvantaged students. The book is designed to serve as a resource to help educators use the opportunities provided by federal education programs in conjunction with local and state reforms. The programs incorporate the following principles: (1) strengthening and enriching the secondary school curriculum; (2) adapting organizations to increase learning; (3) linking schooling to the future; (4) creating networks of support for students; and (5) providing resources for improvement. Appendices contain contact information, a list of selected organizations that offer related information and services, and a planning and implementation checklist. (LMI)
