Georgia Milestones Assessment System Year Two

Agenda Review principals and purpose of Georgia Milestones Assessment Structure of the test Score reports Changes to the test Online testing Resources How parents can help

Georgia Milestones Grades 3 – 8 High School End of Grade (EOG) in language arts, mathematics, science, social studies High School End of Course (EOC) in 9th Grade Literature & Composition, American Literature & Composition, Algebra 1, Geometry, Physical Science, Biology, US History, and Economics

Georgia Milestones Guiding Principles Be sufficiently challenging and compare with other students across the United States and internationally Be designed to send a clear signal of student progress/growth and preparedness for the next level Be accessible to all students Accelerate the transition to online administration

Georgia Milestones: Policy Uses Determines promotion/retention status in grade 3 (reading only), grade 5 (reading and mathematics), and grade 8 (reading and mathematics) Reading: a student who has a Below Grade Level Reading status will require remediation and retesting in ELA Mathematics: a student who is classified as a Beginning Learner will require remediation and retesting in mathematics The End of Course (EOC) measures serve as the final exam and comprise 20% of a student’s final course grade Eligible students may seek to demonstrate subject area competency (“test-out”) before enrolling in a course with an associated EOC Informs Georgia’s accountability measures (CCRPI/TKES/LKES)

Georgia Milestones: Instructional Uses Differentiation of student instruction Differentiation of staff development One piece of the total picture of student performance Teacher reflection and growth

Test Construction – EOG/EOC Content Area and Number of Sections Selected Response Constructed Response (2 points) Extended Constructed Response (4 points) Extended Writing Response (7 points) Evidence Based/Multiple Part Items (Technology Enhanced, Field Test Only) Multiple choice Short answer Narrative, response to text Essay (grade appropriate/ 1st draft) mul English Language Arts (3)  Mathematics (2) Science (2) Social Studies (2) 7

Calculator Policy Content Area Grade Level/Course Type of Calculator Mathematics Grades 3-5 Not Allowed Grade 6 Basic Grades 7 and 8 Basic or Scientific Coordinate Algebra Scientific or Graphing Analytic Geometry Algebra I Geometry Science Physical Science Social Studies Economics Calculators are not permitted on Section 1, Part A, of each mathematics test in grades 6–8 and high school. Calculators are not permitted at all in grades 3–5 mathematics.

End of Grade - Individual Student Report (ISR) Sample

Achievement Levels Beginning Learners do not yet demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in Georgia’s content standards. The students need substantial academic support to be prepared for the next grade level or course and to be on track for college and career readiness.   Developing Learners demonstrate partial proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in Georgia’s content standards. The students need additional academic support to ensure success in the next grade level or course and to be on track for college and career readiness. Proficient Learners demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in Georgia’s content standards. The students are prepared for the next grade level or course and are on track for college and career readiness. Distinguished Learners demonstrate advanced proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in Georgia’s content standards. The students are well prepared for the next grade level or course and are well prepared for college and career readiness.
