AMAO 1 Data• Oregon’s AMAO 1 calculation is a growth model based on

a trajectory that all ELs will progress in learning English within 6 years, based on a beginning level of 1.

• Students meeting their individual growth target are included in the AMAO 1 numerator.

• Growth targets are established based on an academic peer’s progress on ELPA.

AMAO 2• Oregon’s AMAO 2 calculation is a two-part calculation.

English learners are divided based on the number of years the student has been identified as an English learner.

• Districts must meet both AMAO 2A and 2B to have an overall Meet for AMAO 2.• Students included in AMAO 2A have been identified as an English

learner fewer than 5 years.• Students included in AMAO 2B have been identified as an English

learner 5 or more years.

• All students are included in their respective AMAO 2 denominator

• Students who are exited as proficient speakers of English are included in their respective AMAO 2 numerator.

AMAO 3• AMAO 3 is Oregon’s AMO growth model for the LEP

(English learner and ELs on monitor status) subgroup.

• AMAO 3 includes: growth on reading and math and graduation rates.

• Over 70% of English learners are enrolled in grades K-5 thus some districts do not have an EL graduation rate. ODE has weighted AMAO determinations to address the difference between districts.
