Columbian Title 1
What does Title 1 do?
Title 1 teachers and IAs provide extra support for students who are at risk in reading and math. We work in classrooms throughout the day to support the classroom teacher and to work with students in small groups. When at all possible, we try to keep the students in the classroom so they are not missing whole group, core instruction.
Our main role is to support classroom teachers and their students, in any way that we can, so that our students can be successful in reading and math!
We have an amazing Title 1 team at Columbian!
