Title Funding Supports
Education of Migratory Children
The Migrant Education Program (MEP) supports students to reach high standards of academic achievement and is the level of interstate cooperation through the transfer of migrant students' education and health records. This high priority activity helps assure that migrant students are placed appropriately when they enroll in a new school. Their teachers are able to meet their needs and valuable time is not wasted. In addition, secondary students benefit significantly since the transfer of credits and/or partial credits assists them in meeting graduation requirements. The dropout rate among migrant students is high because of the frustration and hopelessness these students encounter when schools are not able to meet their academic needs.
High Quality Teachers and Principals
Title II, Part A is intended to increase student academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality. This includes increasing the number of Highly Qualified teachers in classrooms, improving the skills of principals and assistant principals in schools, and increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals.
Allowable Title II activities include:
- Recruiting, Hiring, and Retaining Highly Qualified Teachers and Principals
- Programs and activities designed to improve the quality of the teaching force
- Teacher advancement initiatives that emphasize multiple career paths and pay differentiation.
- Professional development activities that improve the knowledge of teachers, principals and superintendents
