Are districts held accountable for teaching English to their English learners?
Under Title III of NCLB, districts (and county offices of education) must establish benchmarks and annually measure the progress of students trying to attain English proficiency. The state has adopted two sets of performance goals for English learners. One set of goals deals with students making annual progress toward English language proficiency. The other set deals with the attainment of English proficiency. These district-level goals are referred to as annual measurable achievement objectives (AMAOs).
