Results of the assessment program are utilized to identify students failing to achieve mastery of content, to provide educators with feedback about instructional practice, and to assist school districts in identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to establish priorities in planning educational programs.  \nThe State Board of Education is required by Georgia law (O.C.G.A. §20-2-281) to adopt assessments designed to measure student achievement relative to the knowledge and skills set forth in the stateadopted content standards. The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones) fulfills this requirement and, as a key component of Georgia’s Student Assessment Program, is a comprehensive summative assessment program spanning grade 3 through high school. Georgia Milestones measureshow well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students in grades 3–8 take an end-of-grade assessment in each content area, while high school students take an end-of-course assessment for each of the eight courses designated by the State Board of Education. In accordance with State Board Rule, Georgia Milestones end-of-course measures serve as the final exams for the specified high school courses.  \nThe main purpose of Georgia Milestones is to inform efforts to improve student achievement by assessing student performance on the standards specific to each course or subject/grade tested. Specifically, Georgia Milestones is designed to provide students and their parents with critical information about the students’ achievement and, importantly, their preparedness for the next educational level. The assessment system is a critical informant of the state’s accountability measure, the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), providing an important gauge about the quality of the educational servic","cbCaiiHAmPqnQ1u8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiHAmPqnQ1u8","pdf",1273307,102,"English","# THE GEORGIA MILESTONES ASSESSMENT SYSTEM\n## Georgia Milestones Assessment System Purpose and Features\n## Testing Schedule\n## Depth of Knowledge Descriptors\n## Depth of Knowledge Skills and Question Cues\n## Scores\n## English Language Arts (ELA)\n## Mathematics\n## Science\n## Social Studies","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Georgia Student Assessment Program and Georgia Milestones?\",\"answer\":\"Georgia Milestones measures student achievement relative to state-adopted content standards and supports efforts to improve teaching and learning, including feedback to educators and information for students and families.\"},{\"question\":\"What features are included in the Georgia Milestones Assessment System?\",\"answer\":\"The system includes open-ended constructed-response items in Language Arts and Mathematics, a writing component within Language Arts, norm-referenced items across content areas, and an ongoing transition to online administration.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Georgia Milestones primarily administered?\",\"answer\":\"Online administration is the primary mode, with a planned transition completed within five years after the inaugural administration; paper/pencil materials remain available as a backup where needed.\"}]","THE GEORGIA MILESTONES ASSESSMENT SYSTEM - Assessment Guide - Grade 8 | PDF",1790685911,257]
