Title I Non-Public Services
The AIU Non-Public Schools Program offers comprehensive Title I services. School districts may contract with the AIU to provide Title I non-public school services that meet all federal requirements.
Title II-A Non-Public Schools Program
Professional development services are offered to non-public schools located within AIU’s service area. Funding is generated at the federal level and then managed by the AIU on behalf of school districts. Non-public school staff and administrators may contact the AIU to utilize funding for professional development needs that align with federal requirements.
Title III Consortium Services
Through the K–12 ESL Title III Consortium, participating districts receive professional development, technology, and supplemental materials to support English language learners. School administrators in Title III-served school districts who oversee the ESL program participate in a role-alike group that meets quarterly. These meetings provide technical training, updates and information from PDE, guidance on best practices and legal requirements, and ongoing support for ESL administrators.
Helping school districts build the bridge that connects students' new language acquisition skills in English to what they bring culturally and linguistically from their homelands
