Title II, Part A
Teacher and Principal Training and Evaluation Fund

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 places a major emphasis upon teacher quality as a factor in improving student achievement. The new Title II programs focus on preparing, training, and recruiting high-quality teachers and principals. Title II funds assist Hamblen County Schools in developing and supporting a high-quality teaching force, thereby improving student academic achievement.

Title II funds in Hamblen County Schools are used in several ways including:

• Employing teachers to reduce class size,

• Providing high-quality professional development for teachers, principals, and assistants, and

• New teacher recruitment and mentoring.
