This page has been prepared by ABC-CLIO’s product and curriculum specialists to provide a better understanding of how ABC-CLIO Databases qualify for various federal funding sources.
Title I: Improving Academic Achievement
Title I funds are used to support “effective, evidence-based educational strategies that close the achievement gap” and “enable the students to meet the state’s challenging academic standards” (California Department of Education, www.cde.com)
ABC-CLIO Databases apply an inquiry learning framework that encourages students to explore historical questions by gathering and evaluating evidence, organizing information, and drawing conclusions.
The Educator Support Site, part of every ABC-CLIO school database, allows educators to match database resources to specific standards, searchable by state, grade level, and specific learning standard.
Title II, Part A: Professional Development
“Title II, Part A can be used to improve teacher and principal quality which include induction programs, professional development and support professional growth”.
The Educator Support Site contains a library of professional development resources for educators including pedagogical topics, teaching tips, and strategies.
Title III / IDEA
Title III funding is used “to ensure that English learner (EL) students … meet the same challenging state academic standards that other students are expected to meet.”
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides funding in support of services to individuals with disabilities.
All ABC-CLIO text database content is convertible to text-to-speech, and translation is available in over 25 languages.
Adjust database visibility and navigation with vision, ADHD, and cognitive disability profile settings in the administrative settings menu.
Title IV, Part A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment
Requirements for funding from the Student Support and Academic Enrichment initiative include improving academic achievement through the use of technology and resources that enhance digital literacy.
In addition to being a 24/7 online resource, ABC-CLIO databases contain student-facing modules for developing core academic skills.
