Schoolwide Title 1
I want to take this
opportunity to introduce myself. My name
is Lynn Locantore and I am the new Title 1 teacher here at CES. Prior to this position, I was a 2nd
grade classroom teacher in the Monomoy Regional School District on Cape Cod and
have been teaching in various different capacities for the past 11 years. After relocating, my most recent teaching
experience was as a long term substitute teacher in first grade here at
CES. I am thrilled to be onboard full
time as the Title 1 teacher for first grade!
This
year our school has qualified to follow a Schoolwide Title 1 model. What does
that mean? This means that both the
reading specialist and I, are able to assist MORE students in first grade! Our groups are more fluid, meaning students
will be working with us when needed throughout the year. Students
in a Schoolwide program could receive support for just a few weeks or a full
yearlong intervention, this would all depend on the needs of the individual
student. We will be working in small groups both in
and out of all the first grade classrooms.
Students are identified by looking at data from grade level assessments,
teacher referrals, and classroom performance and observations. The teacher and I will work as a team to
decide how much support is needed. We
will work on additional math and reading skills that are individualized based
on the student needs. These skills are
taught small group through a variety of different hands on activities and games
that are aligned with our math, reading and phonics curriculum.
Parent Communication
You may see some games
come home with a Title 1 stamp on it that we worked on in small group. Please take advantage of these
resources! They are not only great
practice for the kids but fun too! If
you have any questions regarding any activity that comes home from Title 1,
please do not hesitate to email me at llocantore@dcrsd.org.
