What is Title I and why/when did it originate?

# data[].attributes.body
Title I originated during President Johnson's "War on Poverty" with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). This would provide federal aid to schools that had a large percentage of students from low-income families. The funding was used for additional supports to ensure that low-income students received equal opportunities to achieve academically and be comparable to their non-disadvantaged peers (Paul, 2016).

The requirements for a CIP/CNA are outlined in The Texas Education Code under Sec.11.253 CAMPUS PLANNING AND SITE-BASED DECISION MAKING. Sec.11.253(d)1-10 states the requirements of a Campus Improvement Plan.

# data[].attributes.body
From a holistic view, after reviewing my campuses CIP and considering the needs of the campus, I do not feel that the CIP work together to support the goals and campus vision. I say this because the mission and vision statement that my principal created for the DAEP are identical to the district's mission and vision statements. Although our vision should align with the district's I believe ours should be unique and address the needs of our environment at the DAEP.

How do you create a CIP/CNA, and who should be a part of the decision making team?

# data[].attributes.body
As outlined is in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), a committee of  "parents, community members, teachers, principals, other school leaders, paraprofessionals, administrators, the LEA, and, if appropriate, specialized instructional support personnel, technical assistance providers, school staff, students (if a secondary school), and other individuals determined by the school," should be involved in the Campus Needs Assessment and the creation of the Campus Improvement Plan (Texas Education Agency, ESSA School Wide Program Requirements, 2018).

When completing a Campus Needs Assessment data for the following areas should be reviewed:

-Demographics
-Student Achievement
-School Culture and Climate
-Staff quality/Professional Development
-Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment
-Family and Community Involvement
-School Context and Organization
-Technology (Weatherford, n.d.).

When creating a Campus Improvement Plan the results of the CNA must be used to address areas of need and create a plan to improve on those areas. The following components make up a CIP:

-Curriculum & Instruction/College and Career
-Service to our parents, families, and community
-Efficient Operations
-Personnel recruitment, selection and retention

The CIP must identify S.M.A.R.T goals along with who will be responsible, the time frame, and how attainment of goal will be measured.

1.1.3 Provide instructional materials and/or equipment supplies to at-risk student population in order to increase academic performance and close learning gaps towards meeting STAAR expectations and TEKS standards.

Current Initiative: This year the principal purchased class sets of Chromebooks for all classrooms.

Current Initiative: Working with the high school counselors to schedule TSI testing dates for my students. In addition, scheduling trips to visit local colleges with our 11th and 12th graders.

1.2.6 Offer a variety of academic and behavioral guidance services that prevents student specific regression of skills.

Current Initiative: An outside Drug and Alcohol Addiction Counseling center is housed at our campus to provide additional services for students placed at the DAEP for drug related offenses. In addition, they also offer counseling from a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)for anger management, depression and anxiety, and mental health issues.

1.3.1 Provide professional development training and activities to support district initiatives and priorities.

Current Initiative: This year the district implemented Restorative Discipline Practices. Once myself and my principal were trained we turned the training around to our staff and have been implementing it since the beginning of the year.

2.2.2 Develop targeted initiatives to increase parental involvement at all campuses.

Current Initiative: This year ever six weeks we are hosting parent meetings over topics that pertain to our population. To encourage participation we required that parents attend 1 meeting during their child's DAEP placement in order for the student to be eligible to exit and return to their home campus.

Current Initiative: This year we have used the video conference equipment to take part in the monthly Lead4Ward webinars on accountability (Roosevelt Alternative School - Campus Improvement Plan, 2019).

What is the difference between a CNA and a CIP?

# data[].attributes.body
The Campus Needs Assessment is done prior to developing the Campus Improvement Plan. The CNA requires the analyzing of multiple data sources to identify area(s) of need. After the CNA is completed that information is used to complete the CIP. The CIP outlines the goals for the school year that align and address district and campus needs. In addition, the CIP outlines how these goals will be tracked and measured along with who is responsible for tracking them. The CIP is a map created to guide all staff in the direction of goal attainment.
