The DRC BEACON to Georgia Milestones predictions have several potential uses. These uses are discussed, and evidence of the validity of those uses is provided. Detailed DRC BEACON to Georgia Milestones prediction tables showing the DRC BEACON to Georgia Milestones score and achievement-level correspondence are also provided.  \nDRC BEACON ASSESSMENTS  \nDRC BEACON is an interim (periodic) assessment that was developed by Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) to measure student achievement in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics in grades3–8. The assessment is delivered on the DRC INSIGHT engine in a computer-adaptive testing (CAT) mode. Adaptive test administrations allow students and teachers a precise view of student achievement afforded by the CAT process of continually adjusting item difficulty to an individualstudent’s ability level throughout each test administration.  \nDRC BEACON assessments can be configured in a variety of ways, including comprehensive ELA and mathematics tests or in smaller testlets that focus on specific domains of content. We recommend that the full ELA and mathematics tests be administered three times a year (Fall, Winter, and Spring), allowing teachers and students the ongoing opportunity to identify individual and group learning needs, and to monitor student progress toward learning expectations.  \nDRC BEACON assessment results are delivered through a dynamic interactive reporting system that allowsusers the opportunity for immediate individual results, roster reports, and links to college-and career-ready standards. The interactive reporting system also offers the opportunity to disaggregate, categorize, and sort data to create various useful summaries of test results.  \nUSING DRC BEACON IN SUPPORT OF EVIDENCE-BASED TEACHING AND LEARNING  \nThe DRC BEACON assessments are intended to provide periodic feedback on student learning at times when students are most receptive to information about their progress and learning needs. That is, DRC BEACON offers the opportunity to collect information about student learning while there is stillsufficient time remaining in the school year to take ","cbCailtRYYRnV4ZX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailtRYYRnV4ZX","pdf",215463,"English","# Purpose\n# DRC BEACON Assessments\n# Using DRC BEACON in Support of Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning\n# Interpreting the DRC BEACON to Georgia Milestones Predictions\n# DRC BEACON to Georgia Milestones Predictive Validity\n# Data\n# Method\n# Predictive Validity Evidence\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the DRC BEACON to Georgia Milestones predictive information?\",\"answer\":\"It provides teachers and administrators information on how to use the Georgia Milestones predictive results shown on DRC BEACON reports, including potential uses and evidence supporting validity.\"},{\"question\":\"How often is DRC BEACON administered and what does it measure?\",\"answer\":\"DRC BEACON is an interim assessment administered three times per year (Fall, Winter, Spring) to measure student achievement in English Language Arts and mathematics in grades 3–8.\"},{\"question\":\"How should teachers interpret BEACON predictions for Georgia Milestones?\",\"answer\":\"The predictions are designed to account for typical growth through the end of the school year, providing context for where students are relative to end-of-year expectations.\"}]","DRC BEACON - A SSE S SM E N T - Using DRC BEACON to Predict Georgia Milestones Achievement - 2026-2027 | PDF",1790715612,25]
