2026-2027 Nevitt Forest Title I Initiatives

Nevitt Forest Elementary School

2026-2027 Title I Initiatives


Title I is a federal program which provides resources to identified schools.  The identification process includes an analysis of the poverty level within each school.  Nevitt Forest Elementary school has been identified as one of nine schools in Anderson District 5 which will receive Title I resources.  On an annual basis, the school and district staff analyze data to determine areas of need. The school and district seek input from parents and the community to determine the most effective manner in which to utilize Title I funds.  For the 2026-2027 school year, the following initiatives have been identified: 


  • Employ a 5th Grade Teacher to provide high-quality core instruction in a smaller classroom setting to increase individualized attention and accelerate student achievement. This position focuses on strengthening foundational literacy and mathematics skills while addressing identified learning gaps through differentiated, data-driven instruction. 

  • Employ a Kindergarten Teacher to provide high-quality core instruction in a smaller classroom setting to increase individualized attention and accelerate student achievement. 

  • Employ a Reduced Class Size Teaching Assistant to help provide individualized and small-group support, reinforce literacy and numeracy instruction, and assist with classroom management and student engagement. By working alongside the teacher, the assistant ensures that all students receive the attention and support they need to build strong academic foundations and behavioral and self-regulation skills. 

  • Employ a non-certified K-5 Academic Interventionist to provide supplemental academic support to students who need additional assistance in reading and/or mathematics under the supervision of certified staff. 

  • Employ a non-certified K-5 Academic and Behavior Interventionist to provide targeted, data-driven support to students who need additional assistance in academic and/or behavioral skill development. 

  • Employ an Instructional Coach to provide targeted, supplemental support to strengthen core instruction in grades 3-5 and increase academic achievement for identified students. 

  • Provide stipends for a  Before/After-School Tutoring program that will be put into place throughout the instructional year to help students that are falling behind on assignments, need extra instructional support, or advancement. During this instructional time, teachers will work directly with students to help them with incomplete assignments, provide extra instruction, and provide intervention on previously taught material.

  • Provide instructional and communication copying services to ensure students have all materials they need to complete hands-on and engaging activities, as well as, providing letters and other materials to parents to keep them informed of school happenings and events. 

  • Provide software to reach students with adaptive, research-based math intervention and enrichment support focused on math fact fluency and fractions understanding. The program will support differentiated instruction, MTSS interventions, and progress monitoring for students performing below grade level. Access to these standards-aligned resources will strengthen foundational math skills and support increased student achievement in mathematics.

  • Provide substitutes to support classroom instruction while providing teachers with the opportunity to attend professional development and increase instructional effectiveness. 

 

  • Provide instructional supplies and materials to support ELA, math, related arts, science, and social studies program initiatives that include materials for STEAM, read-aloud / mentor texts, LLI Instruction, classroom consumables, and other evidence-based strategies.  

 

  • Provide technology materials and supplies to support and implement technology integrated instruction for student achievement of college and career ready standards. 

 

  • Provide student incentives and recognition items, including trophies, awards, certificates, and instructional rewards, to support and encourage academic achievement, student growth, attendance, and positive participation in instructional activities aligned to school improvement goals and Title I initiatives.

 

  • Provide instructional supplies and materials to support parent, family, and community events.  These activities will provide stakeholders the opportunity to engage in events at the school that support STEAM, Mathematics, English Language Arts, and more.

 

  • Provide stipends for instructional professional development outside of the paid work day. 

 

  • Designated teachers and administrators will attend effective strategy conferences and workshops designed to improve student achievement and performance on local and state assessments. Workshop participants will share workshop materials and conduct information/training sessions with colleagues upon return through grade level planning, school-based professional development days, and when applicable, cross-school workshops.
