What is DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT?
Adequate Yearly Progress Test data is reported by economic background, race
and ethnicity, English proficiency and disability. Measuring progress by subgroups will demonstrate
not just that overall student performance is improving, but also that achievement gaps are closing between disadvantaged students and other students.
Holding schools accountable for the academic achievement of all subgroups ensures that no child is left behind.

STRATEGY How are we going to meet the measureable objective? Your achievement goal will most likely have multiple
strategies but one should include the targets by subgroup.
Example: ABC School will raise the achievement levels of the 4 subgroups represented to the following levels: African American to 55.7%, IEP to 46.9 %, Asian Pacific Islander to 69.8 %, LEP to 33.4 %.
