Georgia Milestones
2
Grades 3 – 8End of Grade (EOG) in language arts,
mathematics, science, social studies
Will replace CRCT and the Grade 3 and 5 Writing Assessment
It is important to remember that Georgia Milestones is primarily a criterion-referenced test, reflecting the content standards for each grade and course
![Page 3: Mary Jenks, Principal Raifa A. Russ, Assistant Principal Briarlake Elementary Parent Presentation March 10, 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649c7b5503460f9492fc1a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Georgia Milestones
3
Blended: Criterion-Referenced and Norm-Referenced
Georgia Milestones will provide:
criterion-referenced performance information in the form of four performance levels, depicting students’ mastery of state standards
norm-referenced performance information in the form of national percentiles, depicting how students’ achievement compares to peers nationally
![Page 4: Mary Jenks, Principal Raifa A. Russ, Assistant Principal Briarlake Elementary Parent Presentation March 10, 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649c7b5503460f9492fc1a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Georgia Milestones o It is anticipated that the state/district scores will
drop during this testing cycle.o Local scanning will not be continued
[constructed-response items require hand scoring]
o Scores will be delayed in year 1 due to technical work and standard setting
o School district will determine policy for promotion in grades 3rd, 5th, and 8th

Warning: Students who simply rewrite excerpts from the passage(s) to illustrate their point(s) will not receive favorable scores. Genres
Writing prompts will be informative/explanatory or opinion/argumentative depending on the grade level. Students could encounter either genre.
Writing at Every Grade
– All students will encounter an extended constructed-response item allowing for narrative prose, in response to text, within first or second section of the test (contributes to the writing score).
– Within section three, students will read a pair of passages and complete a series of items prior to writing their essay:o 3 selected-response items asking about the salient features of
each passage and comparing/contrasting between the two passages (contributes to reading score)
o 1 constructed-response item requiring linking the two passages (contributes to the reading score)
o 1 writing prompt (allowing for an extended writing response) in which students must cite evidence to support their conclusions, claims, etc. (contributes to the writing score)

Sample problem Forming units to solve word problems is one of the most powerful examples of the
overarching theme in “A Story of Units.” Here is a sample problem that illustrates why:
A bottle holds 900 ml of water. A bucket holds 6 times as much water as a bottle. A glass holds 1/5 as much water as a bottle. How much more does the bucket hold than 4 bottles?
We can use the bottle capacity to form a unit pictorially and illustrate the other quantities with relationship to that unit:
Bottle
Bucket
Glass
The unit can then be used to answer the question about this situation, “How much more does the bucket hold than 4 bottles?”
Once the units are established and defined, the task is simply manipulating them via arithmetic. With this repetition of prior experiences, the student realizes that he has seen this before.

Eureka Math Differs from traditional textbook
Overarching theme is told in a story
Defines basic building block of math-the UNIT
Not a scripted program
Exemplars of student/teacher instructional situations
Instructional adjustments

Eureka Math is…• Using real-world problems
• Understanding why
• Explaining your reasoning
• Doing math in your head
![Page 42: Mary Jenks, Principal Raifa A. Russ, Assistant Principal Briarlake Elementary Parent Presentation March 10, 2015](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649c7b5503460f9492fc1a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
It’s not your father’s math… Parents face the toughest challenge
Unknown models and procedures
No more memorization of formulas, shortcuts and tricks
Emphasis is on concepts behind the math operations
Multiple ways to arrive at the same answer

Eureka Math is not…
endless exercises without context
isolated memorization
working alone
relying on a calculator

Curriculum Questions Dekalb County has adopted the McGraw Hill My Math curriculum and
provided text books to all DeKalb County schools. Is Briarlake obligated by County protocol and/or teacher contracts to use the McGraw Hill My Math curriculum?
Is Briarlake allowed to use Engage NY?
what is the message being delivered to parents/teachers on whyEngage NY is being used in lieu of My Math?
What My Math text books were provided to teachers at the beginning of the school year?
Were teachers instructed to use these new books, not to use them, or to use a combination of My Math and Engage NY?
What math curriculum are other neighboring elementary schools using?
Which curriculum, Engage NY or My Math, teaches the curriculum skills and most importantly, the math terminology (i.e. number bonds), consistent with the Georgia Milestones assessment?
What training and support is provided to teachers in order to effectively teach the Engage NY math curriculum?
If a student is struggling with the Engage NY math curriculum, what resources/support is available to the students and parents
Has DeKalb County just recently provided new textbooks for English Language Arts?
What is the time frame for the improvements to the computer lab to be completed?
