Federal funding
Federal formula or Title grants are non-competitive; each state receives a portion of the funding based on a formula. States in turn pass the funding on to local districts and schools.
Most EL teams that invest in Ellevation use Title III funds, but many leverage a combination of Title I, II, and IV to scale their impact.
Supports educational programs for students from low-income families
Ellevation supports Title I activities, including school-wide reform to provide students with access to effective, research-based instructional strategies and robust academic content. This support aims to ensure all children meet challenging state academic standards and close educational achievement gaps.
Strengthens the quality of teachers, principals, and additional school leaders through supplemental activities
Title II funds leveraged with Ellevation help districts strengthen systems of support. These funds should be used to increase student achievement, improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers and leaders, increase the number of effective teachers and leaders, and provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective and experienced teachers and leaders.
Ensures that English learners (ELs) and immigrant students attain English proficiency and develop high levels of academic achievement in English
Ellevation supports Title III activities, which includes ensuring that ELs and immigrant students attain English proficiency and develop high levels of academic achievement by providing educators with effective instructional strategies to use in their classroom.
Improves students’ academic achievement by providing all students with access to a well-rounded education
Ellevation supports Title IV Part A activities, which aims to provide students with a well-rounded education, including programs to improve instruction and student engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and increasing access for students through grade 12 who are members of underrepresented groups, such as English learners.
