What do AMAOs refer to?

  1. Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives

  2. Average Measurable Assessment Outcomes

  3. Annual Methods for Academic Outcomes

  4. Accreditation Measure for Academic Outcomes

The correct answer is: Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives

The correct answer is Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives, commonly referred to as AMAOs. These objectives are part of the accountability measures established under the No Child Left Behind Act and serve to evaluate the progress of English language learners (ELLs) in acquiring the English language. Specifically, AMAOs assess whether students are making adequate progress towards language proficiency, are reaching proficiency within a specified timeframe, and ultimately aim to ensure that schools are providing effective services to their ELL populations. The other options, while they may sound relevant, do not accurately reflect the definition or purpose of AMAOs. They suggest alternative focuses that do not align with the established goals for assessing ELL student progress. Understanding AMAOs is essential for educators in designing effective instruction and programs for students learning English in schools.
