3. Promotion & Retention 2015-2016 School Year
Reading – Grades 3, 5, and 8
Student performance on the reading portion of the ELA test will be used to provide a grade level reading determination:
Below Grade Level or On/Above Grade Level
The determination is based on the linkage of the Lexile scale to Georgia Milestones. To be eligible for promotion, students must demonstrate reading skill at the beginning of the grade-level stretch-band. The stretch-bands were developed to signal the reading level at each grade students need to achieve to be college and career-ready upon graduation.

4. Promotion & Retention 2015-2016 School Year
Reading – Grades 3, 5, and 8
Students who receive Reading and Vocabulary domain designation of Below Grade Level need remediation and are eligible to retest in ELA.
Generally speaking, this will be students in the Beginning Learner achievement level and some at the lower end of Developing Learner.
Students who achieve the beginning range of Developing Learner demonstrated sufficient writing and language skills to increase their achievement level but may still be reading below grade level.
The reading domain classification is based on the student’s performance on the reading items.

Domain Signals
Mathematics, Science, Social Studies
Remediate Learning: well below mastery on a domain and should consider additional study or instructional opportunities on that domain.
Monitor Learning: has not consistently demonstrated mastery on a domain and thus additional information should be used in order to assess whether additional study or instruction is necessary.
Accelerate Learning: has demonstrated achievement on that domain at or above the level expected of a student just at the threshold of Proficient Learner at the total test level
Domain Performance:
What is the likelihood the student would achieve proficiency on the test given his/her performance in the domain?
