Job description

Through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Title I schools qualify for additional funds and support from government agencies to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to be successful.

Teachers are drawn to teach in Title I schools for a variety of reasons. Many want to make a difference for high‑needs students and/or give back to their own communities. Others have been inspired by their own influential teachers and want to be “that one teacher†for their own students.
