After 2 years of failure to make adequate yearly progress (AYP), the school in your district has been placed on the academic watch list. As someone who understands curriculum, you have been entrusted with the task of preparing a presentation to explain what AYP means, what the effects of being on the watch list are, and to make recommendations to improve the school. The meeting will be held next Tuesday and is open to the entire community. (Note: You may take on the role of administrator, teacher, parent, or simply concerned community member, but be sure to identify yourself as a part of your presentation.)

In your presentation, include PowerPoint slides you might use and give the entire text of the presentation in the presenter notes in PowerPoint.
