Westfield School District Pioneer Westfield Middle School Brenda Dahlke, Title 1 Teacher, Project Coordinator PH: 608-296-4721 E-Mail: dahlkeb@westfield.k12.wi.us
Project Abstract:
The intent of our project is to increase the knowledge of middle school students and teachers on the usage of reading strategies in the content areas. Our Title I program will benefit from the increase of consistency of reading strategy use throughout the middle school curriculum and also the increase of appropriate reading level materials for our targeted students. Approximately 20 students will be targeted to receive Title I services, but we feel that all 200 students in the middle school will receive benefits from this project due to the training of the middle school teachers on using reading strategies. We feel that Title I students and their parents will see an increase in success in the content area subjects, an increase in reading for enjoyment, and a better understanding of the adolescent reader.
Marinette School District Merryman Elementary School Diane Jenquin, Project Coordinator PH: 715-735-2530 E-Mail: djenquin@marinette.k12.wi.us
Project Abstract:
Merryman Elementary has a population of 245 with a free and reduced population of 43%. Over half of our students come from lower income families headed by minimum wage earners. We, as a staff, at Merryman School strive to provide programming to insure success of all students. Providing parents with ideas and strategies to help their child at home will aid us in achieving this goal. Parent involvement is a critical component to the Title I program. We currently have parents sign a compact which states they will get their child to school on time, work with them at home, and attend school functions. We send home skill lessons to work on and books to share weekly along with a newsletter. This just doesn’t seem to be enough. By having this extended evening program once a month, we will be able to give the parents more tools to apply at home that will help their child become a more successful reader. Our current Title I population is 62 students kindergarten through fourth grade with emphasis given to an early intervention in grades K-2. Our program would be geared to the lowest 20 students. If our hypothesis is correct we will be able to give these children the extra home support they need to become successful readers.
