Title I and Education Reform – Center for Law and Education

CLE has long focused on the largest elementary and secondary education program — Title I — as the primary vehicle for broad-based school reform. Through our work we have sought to mobilize parents, community advocates, and school personnel, to use federal Title I, and state and local law and policy to bring about broad-based school and district-level reform using varied strategies including: parent education and mobilization; developing federal, state, and local policies which support standards-based school reform; and school partnerships for program improvement, which sought to improve the core quality of curriculum and instruction.
