Flow charts can be a useful way to work through complex procedures. This one, on "making AYP" developed by the Colorado Department of Education, is worth knowing about if you ever need to explain Adequate Yearly Progress to others.




Making AYP:

In order for a district or school to make AYP, all of the following requirements must be met:

• Achieve a 95% participation rate in state reading and math assessments.
• Reach targets for either proficiency or decrease non-proficiency in reading and math.
• Reach targets for one other indicator - advanced level of performance for elementary and middle schools in reading and math and graduation rate for high schools.
