On April 12, 1965, Lyndon B Johnson enacted five titles into action.  One of which was Title ONE and is "targeted to high-poverty schools and districts and used to provide educational services to students who are educationally disadvantaged or at risk of failing to meet state standards" (Education Week, 2019).  The program is designed to accomplish four primary goals:

provide supplementary education to students eligible for services;

provide additional funding to schools and districts serving high concentrations of children from low-income families;

focus educators on the needs of special student populations; and

improve the academic achievement of eligible students, reduce performance gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged students, and assist eligible students in meeting high academic standards (Riddle, 1996).

In addition to providing funds for high-poverty schools, Title I, Part A is the federal government’s primary instrument for holding states, districts, and schools accountable for implementing standards-based education. Among other things, Title I, Part A requires states to:

have academic standards for all public elementary and secondary school students;

test students in English and math every year between grades 3 and 8 and once in high school;

report on student achievement by average school performance, as well as by the performance of specified subgroups;

ensure that all students are academically proficient by the spring of 2014; and

hold districts and schools accountable for demonstrating adequate yearly progress in student achievement (Education Week, 2019).
