Starting Point
AYP Requires
Same high standards for all Statistically valid and reliable Continuous and substantial improvement for all students Separate measurable annual objectives for achievement
• All students• Racial/ethnic groups• Economically disadvantaged students• Students with disabilities• Students with limited English proficiency• All related subject areas, all grades
Graduation rates for high schools and 1 other indicator for elementary schools
How a school or district makes AYP…
Each group of students meets or exceeds statewide annual objective
exception: - the number below Proficient reduced 10% from
prior year, and - subgroup made progress on other indicators
ANDFor each group, 95% of students participate in the assessments on which AYP is based
Schools Not Making AYP For 2 Consecutive Years
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Year 4
Year 5
- 2 Year Plan, Choice w/in District- Choice, “Supplemental Services” *- Choice, Supp. Services, “Corrective Actions”
Staff, New Curric, Outside Expert, Extend Year and/or Day, Restructure Internal School Organization
- Choice, Supp Services, “Plan Restructuring”**Reopen as charter, Remove staff –all or most, principal too, Contract with entity, State takeover, Any other major governance restructuring.
- Choice, Supp Services, Implement Restructuring
*Unless natural disaster, or “unforseen” decline in $$$** Consistent with state law
For a State to make AYP
Annual peer review beginning in year 3 will determine…
Did the State make AYP as defined under Title I for each group of students ?
Did the State meet its annual measurable achievement objectives for LEP attainment of English proficiency under Title III?
(Title VI, Subpart 4)
If a State fails to make AYP for 2 consecutive years…
The United States Secretary of Education shall provide technical assistance that is: • Valid, reliable and rigorous, and• Constructive feedback to help the State
make AYP or meet the annual measurable objectives
SY 2005 Report to Congress on Status of States

Annual State Report Card
Will include:• Disaggregated student achievement results by performance
level• Comparison between annual objectives and actual
performance for each student group• Percent of students not tested, disaggregated• 2-year trend data by subject, by grade tested• Data on other indicators used to determine AYP• Graduation rates• Performance of districts making AYP, including the number
and names of schools identified for school improvement• Professional qualifications of teachers, percent with
provisional credentials, percent of classes not taught by highly qualified teachers including comparison between high- and low-poverty schools
• Optional information provided by State

Balance
NH Issues and Choices…
Minimum required Single State Test Social Studies ? Dual (and dueling)
accountability systems Continue to provide limited
technical assistance Limit Reading Effort Limited Quality Educators Assume fed’s know best
Take Advantage State/local partnership Continue to build a powerful
“system” of teaching and learning.
One, sensible, unified system of accountability and support
Attract and keep even better educators
Lead the nation in literacy Assume we can make the
“best of this.”
NH Issues and Choices…
Will we…Meet federal requirements or…
meet New Hampshire’s challenges?
Meet expectations or… exceed expectations?
Adequate or…excellent?
