Text (slide 25):
“Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP)
- The goal is 100 percent proficiency for all students in 12 years.
- Provides separate, measurable objectives for all children and for specific
groups (disadvantaged, racial/ethnic, disabled, LEP)
- The goal is ambitious, but achievable.
- Why 100 percent? Anything less means children will be left behind.
