Title III Accountability RequirementsLilia G. SánchezBilingual/Migrant Education Consultant
Title III Accountability Title III under the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides supplemental funding to LEAs and consortia Funds are to be used to implement programs designed to help English learners (ELs) attain English proficiency and meet the state’s academic and content standards
Title III Accountability • Is a series of annual academic performance goals established for each LEA or consortia of LEAs to hold them accountable for progress and performance of ELs • LEAs are determined to have met their accountability goals if they meet or exceed each year’s accountability targets and criteria
Title III Accountability Title III, Part A, Subpart A, Sections 3121 and 3122, of the ESEA requires that each state: • Establish English language proficiency standards • Conduct an annual assessment of English language proficiency • Define two Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) for increasing the percentage of EL students’ developing and attaining English proficiency • Include a third AMAO relating to meeting the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the EL subgroup at the LEA or consortium level • Hold LEAs and consortia accountable for meeting the three AMAOs (ESEA Section 3122)
California’s Definition of Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives • An Annual Measurable Achievement Objective (AMAO) is a performance objective, or target, that Title III subgrantees must meet each year for their EL populations • All LEAs and consortia receiving a Title III-LEP grant are required to annually meet the two English language proficiency AMAOs • All LEAs must also meet a third academic achievement AMAO based on AYP information
Consequences of Not Meeting Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives If a Title III or consortia does not meet any one or more of the three AMAOs in any year, it must: • Inform the parents of all ELs in the LEA or the consortia as a whole, that the AMAOs have not been met • This notification should be provided within 30 days of the public release of the Title III Accountability Report
Development of a Title III Year 2 Improvement Plan Pursuant to requirements of ESEA, Section 3122(b)(2): • LEAs and consortia that fail to meet one or more AMAOs for two consecutive years (FY 2010–11, and FY 2011–12) must also develop an improvement plan that will ensure all AMAOs are met
Development of a Title III Year 2 Improvement Plan • The improvement plan shall specifically address the factors that prevented the LEA or consortium from achieving the AMAO targets • This requirement can be addressed via the Title III Year 2 Improvement Plan (IP) on the California Accountability and Improvement System (CAIS) • More information on the IP is available at the CDE Accountability Requirements Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/el/t3/t3amaotargets12asp.
Projection of Year 2 LEAs in Improvement Status • Based on 2010-11 data, up to 96 LEAs will be identified as not having met one or more AMAOs for two consecutive years • A more accurate number will be available upon release of the 2011-12 Accountability Reports
Consequences of Not Meeting AMAOs for 4 Years Pursuant to requirements of the ESEA, Section 3122 (b)(4), and approved by the State Board of Education: • LEAs and Consortia failing to meet one or more AMAOs for four consecutive years (2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11, and 2011-12) are also required to modify their curriculum, program, and method of instruction
Development of a Title III Year 4 Improvement Plan • This requirement can be addressed via the Title III Year 4 IP on CAIS • More information on the improvement plan is available in the CDE Accountability Requirements Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/el/t3/t3amaotargets.asp.
