Why the change in assessment?
"Too many students were labeled as proficient when, in reality, they had not fully mastered the standards and needed additional support. That hurt our kids who need to be competitive with
others across the country and hurt our teachers by making it difficult for them to have a true
picture of the academic strengths and weakness of their students.“
- Richard Woods, Georgia's School Superintendent

Key Instructional Shifts Georgia Standards of Excellence
ELA
• Regular practice with complex texts and their academic language
• Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence text
• Building knowledge through content rich non-fiction
Mathematics• Greater focus on fewer
topics
• Coherence: Linking topic and thinking's across grades
• Rigor: Pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and application with equal intensity

Assessment Shifts
• Alignment with Georgia Standards of Excellence• Designed to encourage critical thinking,
analytical writing and real-world problem solving
• Fewer multiple choice questions• Increase in short-answers (constructed response)
and extended responses that require students to demonstrate a deeper understanding of key concepts

GMAS: 4 Levels of Performance Designation Progression of Learning
Beginning
Learners do not yet demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge
and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as
specified in GA’s content standards. The students need substantial
academic support to be prepared for the next grade level/course
or to be on track for college and career readiness.
Developing
Learners demonstrate partial proficiency in the knowledge and
skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified
by GA’s content standards. Students need additional academic
support to ensure success in the next grade level/course and to be
on track for college and career readiness.
Proficient
Learners demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge skills
necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in
GA’s content standards. The students are prepared for the next
grade level/course and are on track for college and career
readiness.
Distinguished
Learners demonstrate advanced proficiency in the knowledge
and skills necessary at this grade level/course as specified by GA’s
content standards. The students are well prepared for the next
grade level/course and are well prepared for college and career
readiness.

A Note About National Percentiles
-Each Georgia Milestones
assessment includes a subset of
20 items from the TerraNova, a
norm-referenced achievement
test.
-This type of standardized
assessment allows for the
interpretation of the test score in
relation to others of the same
grade and age.
-All 20 TerraNova items
contribute to a student’s norm-
referenced score (National
Percentile).
-Only those TerraNova items (10
or fewer items depending on the
specific EOG assessment) that
align to state content standards
were actually included in the
Milestone score.
