Lesson Summary. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a term used when holding schools accountable for student growth according to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. Schools receiving Title I funds were required to measure the growth of students, especially those considered economically disadvantaged or ELL.
As states developed their assessment system, they had three options: 1 A uniform assessment would define one test and a particular set of criteria for determining AYP. 2 States could choose to use a combination of state and local assessments. For example, grades 3, 5, 8, Algebra I, and English I might take a state-mandated test, while grades 4, 6, 7, English I, Algebra II, and Biology would take district-selected tests. In this scenario, the state may choose to weight the tests. Another example of using mixed assessments is for the state to provide a standard assessment, but give local districts the option of developing their own assessments under specific guidelines. 3 States could also choose to allow all districts to develop their own assessments as long as they set criteria and maintain a watchful eye to ensure that all districts will maintain high standards and that assessments are aligned with the state's standards and objectives.
NCLB has since been replaced by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), therefore AYP is no longer a federal requirement. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study.com Member. Create your account.
