Title
I, Part C - Education of Migratory Children
The Migrant Education Program (Title I, Part C) is a federally-funded program that provides educational and support services for the eligible children of migrant workers, or the migrant workers themselves, if they are under 22 years old and have not graduated from high school.
Why is there a special program for these students?
These students have unique educational needs because their schooling can be frequently interrupted as their families move in search of work. Often, they fail in school, or are at risk of failing or dropping out, due to circumstances which arise from their situation. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 holds migrant children to the same challenging state content and student performance standards as all children.
Who is eligible for Migrant Education?
An eligible student (birth to age 22) has moved to obtain or seek, or so that a family member could obtain or seek, employment in fishing or agriculture (including food processing, dairy, vegetable, fruit and sod farms, and lumbering operations). This move from one school district to another must have occurred within the last three years.
What will happen when someone is referred to the NH Migrant Education Program?
A home visit will be made to determine eligibility and to conduct an informal assessment of the family’s needs. Services respond to the specific needs of individual children and may include: supplemental tutorial assistance, free books and educational materials, assistance with interagency referrals, and child/family advocacy.
For how long may a student receive Migrant Education services?
Assistance may be provided for up to three years from the family’s move unless the student graduates from high school, receives a GED or reaches the age of 22.
How can you help?
Many of our referrals come from local teachers and school personnel. You know your students and community best. Please refer any student you think may be eligible to us ASAP. (We’re not asking you to determine eligibility, only to be our eyes and ears in your community!) Also, if you know of any dairy farms, nurseries, Christmas tree farms, logging operations, food/meat processing plants, etc. in your area that may employ fishing or agricultural workers please let us know!

Title
I, Part B- William F. Goodling Even Start Family Literacy
New
Hampshire Even
Start Family Literacy Program
Even
Start is a federally-funded educational program offered
in three urban and rural communities across the state.
Each program builds on existing educational resources
and is sponsored through a partnership involving the
local school district and community-based, non-profit
organizations.
Even
Start is designed to serve low-income families with
low literacy skills. The instructional program integrates
early childhood education, adult education, parent and
child interactive literacy activities, and parenting
education; it also connects families with existing community
resources and support services.
Who
is eligible?
Low-income
families with children from birth through age seven,
who are most in need of literacy development, are eligible
for enrollment. This includes families headed by teen
parents who have not yet received a high school diploma,
adults who wish to earn their GED, and those who are
English language learners.
Core
Program Components
Early
Childhood Education: The program ensures that
young children are involved in focused literacy activities
in high-quality preschools and kindergarten settings,
as well as in elementary schools. New Hampshire Even
Start primarily engages infants and toddlers in early
language and literacy activities with their parents
at home. Curriculum for all children is age-appropriate
and based on scientific reading or reading readiness
research.
Adult
Education: Adults enrolled in the program
set individual literacy and self-sufficiency goals.
They participate in classes which prepare them for GED
testing or a high school diploma. English language instruction,
academic tutoring, job readiness, and life skill training
are also provided.
Interactive
Literacy Activities: This unique component
strengthens parent-child relationships by providing
time for enjoyable literacy activities where parents
and children talk, read books, learn new skills, and
play together.
Parenting
Education: In Even Start , parents are regarded
as their child's first teachers. Parents learn new ways
to support their child's early literacy development
at home, in group settings, and at school.
Program
Design
Families
participate in a program which offers flexible, intensive,
year-round instruction. In addition to enrolling adults
and children in appropriate educational settings, an
Even Start Family Literacy Instructor visits each family
in their home on a weekly or bi-weekly
basis.
To help families participate in all four program components
on a consistent basis, Even Start offers child care,
light meals, and transportation to classes.
New
Hampshire Even Start annually assesses progress
of local programs through outcomes on its state performance
indicators and through a written report from an independent
evaluator. The State Coordinator also makes regular
monitoring visits to each program site to ascertain
compliance with the 15 required Even Start Elements
and progress toward local improvement goals.
