MSA versus AYP data
It is also important to note that the MSA data reported in this section for reading and mathematics is slightly different than the AYP data reported for the same school for several reasons. The MSA data for any school includes the results for all students at that school who took MSA. However, the AYP data for an elementary or middle school only includes the results for students who were enrolled in the school for a full academic year. Additional information is available in this tutorial.

Next Steps
Now that you have analyzed your MSA data, you are ready to identify your school improvement goals. However, in order to identify high impact strategies to attain your school improvement goals, you will next need to engage staff in clarifying your problem.
How do you clarify your problem?
Once you have identified your school improvement goals and strategies, you will want to identify how you will monitor student progress toward achievement goals.
How do you monitor student progress?
One key strategy for informing instruction is the regular examination of student work by teams of teachers.
