Target Audience
Schools and school districts implementing Title III programs
School and School District Needs Addressed
At the conclusion of every second fiscal year, schools and school districts that are receiving Title III funds must submit an evaluation to the state education agency that includes:
- A description of the programs and activities conducted with Title III funds during the two preceding fiscal years
- A description of the progress made by children in learning English and in meeting state academic content and student academic achievement standards
- The number and percentage of children attaining English proficiency by the end of each school year
- A description of the progress made by children meeting state academic and student academic achievement standards for each of the two years after no longer receiving program services.
Recommended Approach
The Intercultural Development Research Association provides high-quality evaluation research services for schools, school districts, and other organizations. IDRA research advances educational policies, programs and practices. Using collaborative and innovative methods, we investigate important questions and provide insights into compelling educational issues. As a national resource, we set standards in the design, analysis, and synthesis of timely and useful research involving diverse populations. IDRA's evaluation approaches employ mixed methods and include formative data (qualitative and quantitative) to provide information critical to conducting and improving an ongoing project, as well as summative data to determine the ultimate merit or significance of a program.
