Self Assessment System for Schools

In accordance with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) must be determined for each public school and charter school in the State.  To meet this requirement of NCLB, Commissioner’s Regulation Part 100.2(p) requires that a self-assessment be conducted in those schools for which decisions regarding AYP cannot be made based upon students’ participation in State assessments.

For the school/district that failed to make AYP in 2005-06 or was in need of improvement status for 2006-07, the deadline to e-mail completed form is August 31, 2007.  For the school/district that made AYP in 2005-06 and/or was in good standing status for 2006-07, the deadline to e-mail completed form is September 14, 2007. Forms should be e-mailed to selfassessment@mail.nysed.gov.

Questions about this requirement may be directed to Maria Sokol (Parzych), Regional Associate at (718) 722-2796.
