AYP – 3 Methods• Meeting targetso in every subgroup outright
• Safe Harbor• Growth
SAFE HARBORReduce nonproficent students by 10%
Ex. 100 students 80% Proficient 20% Nonproficient
If target is 90%, need 10 more students to become proficient
For safe harbor, need to reduce the nonproficient by 10%
10% of 20 = 2 students
Using Safe Harbor, what % proficient must the HS meet in Reading? Math?
Economically Disadvantaged Subgroup
What % proficient for Reading? What % proficient for Math?

Achievement vs. Progress
Achievement is absolute – what percentage of your students are proficient?
• 2013 Targets: 89% for Math 91% for Reading
• 2014 Targets: 100% for Math 100% for Reading
The alternative path to achievement:Progress = Growth = Value-added Measurements
If your building/students did not meet the AYP target, did they display one year of growth?
