HELP FOR CODE 1: Ungraded: A classroom containing children with an age span of two or more years, not
formally identified by grade(s).
HELP FOR CODE 2: Prekindergarten: Prekindergarten includes early childhood education programs, nursery
school, or preschool.
HELP FOR CODE 3: Transitional (or readiness) kindergarten (TK): A transitional kindergarten (TK) program is
an extra year of school before kindergarten starts. It is different from preschool, Head Start, or
prekindergarten. TK may be for children who are too young to start kindergarten or need more time to be
ready for kindergarten. Schools have different names for these programs (for example, early transitional
kindergarten (ETK), readiness kindergarten, or a kindergarten equivalent in a classroom without grades or
one with multiple grades), but all are types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school,
or an early childhood setting such as a nursery school, early childhood learning center, or day care center. It
may be a full- or part-day program and have regular and/or special education.

Dual Language Instruction: Also known as two-way immersion, the goal of these programs is for students to
develop language proficiency in two languages by receiving content instruction in English and another
language in a classroom that usually consists of both native English speakers and native speakers of the other
language.

students,” who have been identified as low achieving.
Schoolwide program: A schoolwide program may use Title I funds to improve the quality of educational
programs and services throughout the school. A school may use Title I funds for a schoolwide program if at
least 40 percent of its students are from low-income families, or if it receives a waiver permitting it to operate
a schoolwide program.
