The ARRA Act (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) provides 77.0 billion to education with $13 billion for low-income public school children that will be allocated through the Title I grant for improving the academic achievement of disadvantaged children. These dollars are in addition to current Title I funding and will provide educators with an opportunity to put into place a process for reviewing, enhancing or replacing current Title I instructional programs.

Title I, Part A is a federal program that provides financial assistance to local school systems and schools with a high percentages of poor children. The funds are used to support the academic achievement of disadvantaged students. Title I funds are distributed to high poverty districts and schools so additional academic support and learning opportunities can be provided that will help low-achieving children master challenging curricula and meet state standards in core academic subjects. Title I funds are used for extra instruction in reading and mathematics, additional teacher resources, as well as after-school and summer programs that extend and reinforce the regular school curriculum.

For the past 20 years, Educational Resources has used a process for evaluating and selecting instructional products from a variety of publishers. We have made it our mission to provide the education community with quality products that work. We have used this experience to carefully review and select instructional materials based on the Title I requirements for sound instructional design, researched based instruction, assessments for accountability, and support for state academic standards. Also, the programs generate reports with data needed to advance student achievement and meet annual AYP while providing for transparency that allows them to be viewed by parents, teachers, and district administrators.
