Title II, Part A

​The Title II, Part A program is designed to increase student achievement, to improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders; to increase the number of teachers, principals, and other school leaders who positively impact and help improve student academic achievement; and to provide students from low-income families and minority students greater access to effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders.

Title II, Part A investments should align with overall strategies to support high-quality instruction in order to improve student academic outcomes.
