The Kentucky Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAO) are based on the English Language Proficiency Standards for Kentucky Schools and relate to Limited English Proficient (LEP) students' development and attainment of English language proficiency (Title III, Section 3122).
A notification letter for Title III AMAO has been sent (October 18, 2007) from the Kentucky Department of Education (Interim Commissioner Kevin Noland) to the Superintendents, Title III/ELL District Coordinators, Title I Directors and District Assessment Coordinator of each district that served LEP students in 2006-07. Members of consortia will also receive a AMAO report for the consortium.
This letter, along with a Title III AMAO Interpretive Guide, and a Power Point Presentation are available below for download. This Power Point presentation (October 2007), Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAO) for NCLB Title III by Edgar Adams, Division of Assessment Implementation, explains Kentucky's achievement targets set to evaluate the effectiveness of language instructional programs. Please use the Interpretive Guide and Power Point presentation to help you understand your district and/or consortium report.
