National Assessment of Title I: Final Report

This two-volume report, and Summary of Key Findings, presents findings from
the congressionally mandated National Assessment of Title I on the
implementation and impact of the program. Volume I contains key findings on
the implementation of the program under No Child Left Behind, and Volume II
presents a report on follow-up findings from Closing the Reading Gap, an
evaluation of the impact of supplemental remedial reading programs on
achievement of 3rd and 5th grade students.

As part of NCLB, the Congress mandated a National Assessment of Title I
(Section 1501) to evaluate the implementation and impact of the program.
This mandate also required the establishment of an Independent Review Panel
(IRP) to advise the Secretary on methodological and other issues that arise
in carrying out the National Assessment and the studies that contribute to
this assessment. In addition, the law specifically requires a longitudinal
study of Title I schools to examine the implementation and impact of the
Title I program. Results from that study are included in Volume I.
