abstract="Speaking about Title I shortly before he died in July 1996, former Secretary of Education Ted Bell said, [It] is the heart and soul of national policy in elementary and secondary education in this nation. Right now, Title I can truly help drive reform .... But always remember, Title I was created because of poverty. It must often speak for those children who--by themselves--have no voices. (personal communication) In a similar vein, Secretary of Education Richard Riley has spoken of the &quot;new&quot; Title I as a vehicle to assist &quot;the children for whom we have cast a tyranny of low expectations&quot; (personal communication). As the &quot;new&quot; Title I enters its 2nd year of operation, the words of both secretaries serve as a reminder to those of us who administer Title I of the need to reach out aggressively to the &quot;children who have no voices&quot; and recognize that the circumstances of these children vary widely.<p />",
