Abstract
In this article, we will review several issues relating to the
definition of “adequate yearly progress” (AYP), and its
measurement, and offer some reasons why it may be prudent to
separate the definition and measurement of AYP from its use in
accountability. The design of accountability system includes
general prescriptions about what data are relevant, policy
questions that will guide the formulation of progress and
productivity indicators based on students’ longitudinal test
scores, and procedures for using the resulting indicators in
accountability
