Title I/State Compensatory Education Program Title I/SCE programs concentrate on providing assistance to students in reading, language arts, and mathematics. Programs are designed to help students who are achieving below expected levels in schoolwork. The goal is to help students improve their achievement levels through “one on one” or “small group” instruction to supplement regular instruction. Teachers, instructional assistants, educational material, and equipment provide the additional support. Students are chosen to participate after reviews of performance on standardized tests, grades, class work, achieved levels of math-reading performance compared with anticipated levels of achievement, retention history, attendance or other needs determined by the school management team. Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) is responsible for the program and its implementation on each school. The team consists of administrators, teachers, assistants, parents, and other communitymembers. They address needs identified in the school through the School Improvement Plan (SIP). Each program provides many activities designed to involve parents and the community. The program is funded by the federal government under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and state funding as well. The U.S. Office of Education and the Maryland State Department of Education have recognized three county schools as “National Distinguished Title I Schools.” The schools recognized are Prince Street Elementary School, Glen Avenue Elementary School, and Pemberton Elementary School. Nine elementary schools are program participants. Wicomico County Early Learning Center (WELC) The Wicomico County Early Learning Center is located on Roberts Street in Salisbury, MD.
