Guideline:

Title I, Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged, Part A, Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies, of the No Child Left Behind Act "is intended to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments. Title I provisions provide a mechanism for holding states, school districts, and schools accountable for improving the academic achievement of all students and turning around low-performing schools, while providing alternatives to students in such schools to enable those students to receive a high-quality education."  As a result, there are Title I provisions that impact English language learner students. It is incumbent on teachers to be knowledgeable about Title I and its requirements.
