Title III Accountability :  The AMAOs

No Child Left Behind requires states to hold all districts accountable for the progress and achievement of English language learners.

  1. English Language Proficiency Attainment - acquiring English language at a reasonable pace
  2. English Language Proficiency Improvement - reaching English language proficiency at a reasonable pace
  3. Academic Achievement (AYP) - meeting RI’s AMOs in English language arts and mathematics for the ELL subgroup
    • Districts meet the Title III Accountability requirements if they “pass” all three components.      
    • Districts who don’t meet the requirements must develop an improvement plan as part of their CRP, communicate with families, and be monitored by RIDE.
  4. NCLB/Title III Rhode Island Student Proficiency Targets - Summary Description of Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) For Programs Instructing English Language Learners
