Information
The Georgia Department of Education has introduced two new types of technology-enhanced items to the Spring 2019 Georgia Milestones End of Grade and End of Course Assessments. Students will see these new test items field tested in spring of 2019. There will be graphing items in mathematics where students will graph, label points and lines, and shade regions that allow students to demonstrate depth of understanding through performance on math tasks. There will also be drag and drop items in mathematics, science, and social studies that allow students to demonstrate depth of understanding by identifying, classifying, comparing, or organizing information. Students will move response choices into another location such as moving words or phrases into a chart or map. Students do not receive scores on the field test items.
Areas Tested
Students in grades 3 through 8 will take an end-of-grade assessment in the content areas of mathematics, language arts, science, social studies. These tests are administered in April. Each school district selects a local testing window from within the state designated time frame to administer the end-of-grade measures.
