Re: Teaching Jobs in Delaware
Posted by Elem. Teacher on 6/28/06

    AYP stands for Adequate Yearly Progress and is part of the No
    Child Left Behind Act. Schools are "scored" each year based on
    certain criteria which determines whether or not they have made
    adequate progress. Try the link at the bottom for more exact
    info.
