that will occur to address the areas not making AYP. (sub-group specific)

Special Emphasis!All Schools!

Be explicit in your SCIP on how you will address the needs of the students who have not made AYP. Extended learning time (mention sub-groups).

How will you encourage participation? Effective, timely additional assistance (mention

sub-groups) What extra steps will you take to meet the needs

of students not making AYP, especially those students from sub-groups in which you have not made progress as a school.
