Continued field testing of content for future administrationsNorm-referenced (NRT) items included to allow for national comparison; some NRT items are aligned to state-adopted content standards and will contribute to the criterion-referenced (CRT) proficiency score. Those that are not aligned will not contribute to the CRT score or accountability/teacher effectiveness measures

Georgia Milestones Score Utilization10EOG
Requirement for promotion to the next grade level for Reading
in Grades 3, 5, and 8 and for
Mathematics
for Grades 5 and 8
EOC
The End of Course (EOC) measures serve as the final exam and comprise 20% of a student’s final course grade.15% for students enrolled in grade nine for the first time prior to July 1, 2011.Eligible students may seek to demonstrate
subject area competency (“test-out”) before enrolling in a course with an associated EOC.Confirmation of credit
for courses taken in an unaccredited school or home studyBothInforms Georgia’s accountability
measures.Provides a signal of college and career readiness and/or readiness to move to the next grade/levelSlide11
Promotion & Retention2015–2016 School YearReading – 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
Students who receive
Reading and Vocabulary
domain designation of
Below Grade Level
need remediation and are to retest in ELA.
Students who retest will take the full ELA test (Sections 1, 2, and 3) . . . which requires two (2) days to complete.Mathematics remains a one-day session as in the past.Slide12
Promotion & Retention2015–2016 School YearMathematics – Grades 5 and 8Students must achieve the Developing Learner
achievement level to be considered eligible for promotion. These students have demonstrated partial proficiency of the grade level concepts and skills and can proceed to the next grade level when provided focused instructional support in the needed areas; their learning should be actively monitored to ensure their success.
Student who achieve the
Beginning Learner
require remediation and the opportunity to retest. These students need substantial academic support.Slide13

The online calculator will be a basic four function calculator; a hand-held basic calculator can have square root and percentage functions
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.Slide14
Test Practice For Students14
All students taking the on-line assessment are required to have a practice test session.We will begin moving students through the labs based on their testing groups on Monday, April 3, 2016 during the day.
This Practice will allow students to use the tools on the computer, answer content specific questions (without scoring), navigate through the test program, and have an idea of where they will test.
You will be given test tickets and a practice test manual to read which will walk them through this practice test.Slide15

Cell Phones & Electronic DevicesStudents are not permitted to use, or bring into the testing environment, any electronic device that could allow them to access, retain, or transmit information (e.g., cell phone, smartphone, PDA, electronic recording device, camera, playback device, etc.). Announcements must be made prior to testing that such devices are not allowed in the testing environment and that possession or improper use of such devices during testing may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the system's student code of conduct and/or test invalidation.
Script has been added to the Examiner’s Manual regarding this topic. This script, as with all script, MUST be read to students.Dr. Gentry will send a parent call out over a span of time alerting parents that students are not to bring their electronic devices during their testing week.
We will take up as in the past any devices that are brought and house them in the testing closet.
