The Title I program, created in 1965, is the largest federal program supporting elementary and secondary education and is intended to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state standards and assessments. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) expanded the assessment and accountability provisions in the law while also creating new provisions related to parental choice and teacher quality. The purpose of this report is to examine the implementation of key Title I provisions related to state assessments, accountability, school choice and supplemental educational services, and teacher quality, as well as examining trends in student achievement. The report synthesizes key findings from a variety of studies and data sources, including the National Longitudinal Study of No Child Left Behind and the Study of State Implementation of Accountability and Teacher Quality Under No Child Left Behind which are repeated cross-sectional surveys of states, districts, and schools, as well as state performance reports and the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The following are appended: (1) Descriptions of Major Data Sources Included in This Report; (2) Supplemental Exhibits; and (3) Standard Error Tables. (Contains 91 exhibits and 185 endnotes.).

This two-volume report, and Summary of Key Findings, presents findings from the congressionally mandated National Assessment of Title I on the implementation and impact of the program. Volume I contains key findings on the implementation of the program under No Child Left Behind, and Volume II [see ED499018] presents a report on follow-up findings from Closing the Reading Gap, an evaluation of the impact of supplemental remedial reading programs on achievement of 3rd and 5th grade students. This report constitutes Volume I of the 2007 "Report on the National Assessment of Title I" and focuses on implementation of key Title I provisions including the following: (1) Characteristics of Title I participants and services for students in private schools; (2) Targeting and uses of Title I funds; (3) Trends in student achievement on state assessments and on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP); (4) Implementation of state assessment systems; (5) Accountability and support for school improvement; (6) Title I school choice and supplemental educational services; and (7) Teacher quality and professional development. The report draws on data from two Department evaluations of NCLB implementation, the National Longitudinal Study of NCLB, and the Study of State Implementation of Accountability and Teacher Quality Under NCLB, both of which collected data in the 2004-05 school year. The report also includes data from other evaluation studies, state performance reports, NAEP, and other sources. The following are appended: (1) Description of Major Data Sources Used in This Report; (2) Supplemental Exhibits; and (3) Standard Error Tables. (Contains 120 exhibits and 294 endnotes.)

This report expands and updates the information provided in the "National Assessment of Title I Interim Report" that was released in April 2006. New data on the implementation of Title I are provided on the targeting and uses of Title I funds, services for private school students, characteristics of students participating in the school choice and supplemental services options, achievement trends on the NAEP science assessment, and surveys of parents and supplemental service providers. Updated data on student achievement on state assessments, school and district identification for improvement, and highly qualified teachers, and schools' AYP and improvement status are also provided. New data are provided for third- and fifth-graders who participated in one of four promising remedial reading interventions during the 2003-04 school year as part of the "Closing the Reading Gap" study. These students' reading skills were assessed again in spring 2005, one year after the end of the intervention, to evaluate sustained effects of the interventions. This is one of three documents constituting the mandated Final Report on the National Assessment of Title I. This "Summary of Key Findings" contains findings from both Volume I, "Implementation," [see ED491143] and Volume II, "Closing the Reading Gap: Findings from a Randomized Trial of Four Reading Interventions for Striving Readers" [see ED491144]. Appended is a list of National Assessment of Title I Independent Review Panel Members. (Contains 15 exhibits.) [This report was produced by the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, Institute of Education Sciences (IES).].

This is one of three documents constituting the mandated Interim Report on the National Assessment of Title I. This Executive Summary describes the studies that comprise the National Assessment of Title I and provides executive summaries of the findings of Volumes I and II. Volume I, Implementation of Title I, focuses on implementation of key Title I provisions related to state assessments, accountability, school choice and supplemental educational services, and teacher quality, as well as examining trends in student achievement. The report draws on data from two evaluations of NCLB implementation conducted by the Department, the National Longitudinal Study of NCLB and the Study of State Implementation of Accountability and Teacher Quality Under NCLB, both of which collected data in the 2004-05 school year. The report also includes data from earlier studies, state performance reports, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, and other sources. Volume II, Closing the Achievement Gap, is an evaluation of either parts or all of four widely used programs for elementary school students with reading problems. The programs are Corrective Reading, Failure Free Reading, Spell Read P.A.T., and Wilson Reading, all of which are expected to be more intensive and skillfully delivered than the programs typically provided in public schools. The following is appended: Independent Review Panel Members. (Contains 12 figures and 5 tables.).
