Title I School

by Stacy

Jun 17, 2015

How are Title I schools different than the "standard school"? I have been offered a position, if my references check out, at a Title I school. I will be relocating and in my area all schools get Title I funding for supporting the students but none are called a "Title I school". Thanks....

FL Teacher It's probably pretty similar to what you're thinking. It gets Title I funding, and it's called a Title I school. As you know, high number of free/reduced lunch, lower test scores, more challenging school population. I worked at a Title I school, and it was a good way to get my foot in the door. If you don't mind my asking, is it elementary, middle ...See More

?? Do you have a Florida license? I never applied in Orange County, but that has caused my application to be kicked back before I got that settled in Florida.

Did you possibly check "yes," presumably by mistake, to one of the questions about criminal history or license suspension? That might do it too.

FL Teacher Hi Angela,

I don't work in Brevard, but it seems like they should have some positions posted by now. It's very possible that they are posted internally this time of the year and will be available to external applicants later. I recommend making a list of questions and calling Personnel directly. I'm sure they will answer your question(s) a...See More

unfair evaluations

by anonymous

Apr 14, 2015

I believe the evaluation system is chronically unfair. Admins come in in the middle of a lesson and expect me to re-explain the entire lesson to the students so that the admin knows I communicate effectively with The students. Otherwise it is a Needs Improvement. So frustrating. Any comments?
