Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)-School Performance
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a means of measuring, through standards and assessments, the achievement of No Child Left Behind’s (NCLB) goal. The goal of NCLB is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.
Below you will find tools to help district accountability staff understand and operate within the Minnesota Department of Education's AYP, Annual Measurable Achievement Objective (AMAO), Accountability Gateway (AG) system.
New state assessment and reports WebEx tutorials are available
To help districts understand Minnesota assessments and the reports generated about student data, WebEx tutorials have been created. More are coming soon. Open the document with links to the three new Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Communication Tutorials.
