No Child Left Behind Act and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Overall goal is 100% proficiency in Reading and Math by 2014 Targets increase nearly every year Recent target proficiencies: 2010: 77.5% 2011: 85% 2012: 85% (Illinois waiver) 2013: 92.5% 3

No Child Left Behind Act and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) 4

Making AYP: Subgroups Target must be met by all subgroups: Ethnic group Economically disadvantaged Students with disabilities Limited English proficiency Applies to all subgroups with at least 45 members 5

Making AYP: Overall Requirements Three overall requirements: 1. At least 95% of students in each subgroup must be tested in reading and math. 2. At least 92.5% (in 2013) of students must meet or exceed standards in the subject. If the percentage is less than 92.5%, the 95% confidence interval is applied. If a subgroup did not make AYP the previous year, but decreased the percentage not meeting standards by at least 10%, the Safe Harbor provision will allow it to meet the conditions. 3.School must have at least a 92% attendance rate. 6

Making AYP: Additional Factors Annual target percentages are lowered in specific circumstances: 95% confidence interval based on group size Safe Harbor provision of 10% decrease in percent not meeting from one year to next 7

Making AYP: Complicating Factors Home school versus serving school May 1 attendance cutoff Some students in multiple subgroups 8

Why Cut Scores Were Raised Focus on college and career readiness Closer alignment to PARCC test Common Core State Standards set higher bar 9
