Title I and IID funds are available to provide high quality professional development. Current federal stimulus money as well as ongoing Title I and IID money can be used to support the integration of technology to improve instruction and student outcomes. Title I funds can be used to develop core technology infrastructure in Title I school-wide programs, including teacher professional development in the use of technology. At least 25% of Title IID funds should be used for ongoing, sustained, and intensive high quality professional development.
