Why Title 1 Schools?

• Title I schools have high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families who cannot afford to provide classroom supplies. To fill the gap, teachers often purchase these items themselves. 

Although most teachers are woefully underpaid, many typically spend $500-$1000 per year out of their own pocket for the supplies.

• Teachers are nearly twice as likely to exit high poverty schools compared to those in more affluent districts.

Studies have shown that when teachers feel appreciated and supported, they are more likely to stay.

Mass Teacher Resources supports teachers –  to support a more stable and supportive learning environment for students.
