Standards for Measuring English Language Learners (ELLs)
Meeting Annual Measureable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs)
AMAO 1 is based on progress in English language acquisition as
measured in each of the three CELLA areas. Making progress is defined
as either increasing a proficiency level or staying within the “Proficient”
level in a specific area.
AMAO 2 is based on achieving English proficiency as measured by
CELLA. Achieving proficiency is defined as scoring within the proficient
level in all three domains: Listening/Speaking, Writing, and Reading.
AMAO 2 is established separately for four grade clusters: K-2, 3-5, 6-8,
and 9-12.
AMAO 3 is based on demonstrating proficiency in reading and
mathematics on the state assessment.
