Virginia Title III Statewide Consortium
In 2014, school divisions allocated less than $10,000 in Title III funding were invited by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to participate in a statewide consortium. VDOE established the consortium in the belief that divisions could accomplish more together rather than individually. The Title III Statewide Consortium allows divisions with low numbers of English Language Learners (ELLs) to pool together financial and programmatic resources in order to serve the needs of these students.
Participation in the Title III Statewide Consortium allows divisions to collaborate to meet the needs of ELLs and their families; enhance professional development programs for educators of ELLs; create opportunities for joint advocacy of ELLs; and share resources. In addition, the members of the consortium have the opportunity to participate in an annual conference that offers the most current research and best practices from national experts and practitioners from school divisions throughout the commonwealth and focuses on the unique needs of divisions with low numbers of ELLs.
