Standard C• Standard (c), remedial reading, requires school districts to provide a program to identify and help underachieving students in kindergarten through grade 4.• Provide interventions or remedial reading services for a pupil in grades kindergarten to 4

These interventions must:• Be scientifically based s. 121.02 (1)(c)• Address all areas of need s. 121.02 (1)(c)• Be consistent with state standards for reading and Language Arts s. 121.02 (1)(c)• Be coordinated with all other reading instruction PI 8.01 (2)(c)3.

• A description of how the district will provide remedial reading services. • A description of how the district intends to evaluate the effectiveness of efforts to remove reading deficiencies. • An assessment of the school district or individual school's reading program.

Annual Measureable Objectives in Reading and Math AMO data is reported publicly, but not factored into the accountability index. AMO data for all subgroups are presented on pages 17 & 18 of the School Report Card.oea.dpi.wi.gov/oea_amo

With the new cut scores, 2011-12 statewide reading proficiency is 35.8% and mathematics proficiency is 48.1%. The AMOs set forth in the waiver for “All Students” in 2011-12 show that statewide we are missing both AMOs. • 37.9% is the Reading AMO for 2011-12• 49.8% is the Math AMO for 2011-12
