What Are Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs)?
AMAO 1:Progressing in English language acquisition
Annual increases in the number or percentage of students making progress in learning English
AMAO 2:Exiting or reaching English language proficiency
Annual increases in the number or percentage of students attaining English language proficiency by the end of each school year
AMAO 3:ELL-Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
AYP for the ELL subgroup (under Title I) in meeting grade-level academic achievement standards in English Language Arts (Reading) and Mathematics
Countdown to ELDA testing……
ELDA 2015This year we will assess over 2700 ELL
students district-wide.Once a student is assessed on one part of the
ELDA, the student will need to take all additional parts. Schools with large populations of students who are non-attenders will need to account for this when scheduling testing.
Students who are in Special Education and are unable to attempt the test due to their Spec. Ed status will be put in for participation.

Scripted DirectionsTo ensure standardized administration conditions, scripted directions that you will read to the students are in Appendix A of the Test Administration Manual.
• An oral script is provided for each assessment (Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking).
• The scripted directions contain information that students need to know about the assessment. Do not deviate from the oral scripts.
• Scripts include specific directions for administering each assessment.
• The scripted directions that are in bold print must be read aloud, verbatim, to students.
• Test administrators should review these scripts prior to the assessment session.
General Procedures DuringAssessment Administration
For new students whose English is just beginning and cannot interact with any part of the test:
• Each student must be given the opportunity to participate in each subtest (Reading, Writing, Speaking, & Listening)
• If a student can not go further than being given the test and bubble answer sheet: FILL IN THE “A” BUBBLE FOR THE FIRST ITEM OF EACH SUBTEST WHERE THIS IS APPLICABLE (Reading, Writing, Speaking, and/or Listening) to indicate his/her “PARTICIPATION” in the assessment.

READING
Students answer questions on the conventions of writing and using language when writing. They fill in the bubbles on their bubble sheets.
Students respond to writing prompts and write on a separate sheet of writing paper. Paper is provided for each student. Please write their name and ID number and school on their writing paper.
A writing team rates the samples of student writing based on a rubric.

WRITING
25
Additional Challenges:The tendency for raters to look at the
student’s writing as a final product. ”This is a first draft. However, do not look at the written responses as a 1st draft that the students will have an opportunity to rewrite.” Dr. Carmen Sosa, 2008
Making inferences about what the students meant to write if “given the opportunity”.
Be objective when rating and follow the rubric for the written response that is given.”
Cannot hand a student back their test and tell them to do more or write better.
Keep in mind….Students will not be penalized for poor handwriting, but we must be able to read it.
Stress content over length.MUST write about the prompt.Can make grammatical errors as long as it does not interfere with the meaning.
