Georgia Milestones + Test Construction – EOG Evidence Extended Extended Based/Multiple Constructed Content Area and Constructed Writing Part Items Selected Response Response Response Number of Sections (Technology Response (2 points) (4 points) (7 points) Enhanced, Field Test Only) English Language Arts      (3)     Mathematics (2) Science (2)   Social Studies (2) Constructed response is a general term for assessment items that require the student to generate a response as opposed to selecting a response. Extended response items require more elaborate answers and explanation of reasoning. They allow for multiple correct answers and/or varying methods of arriving at the correct answer. Writing prompts or performance tasks are examples of extended response items. 8

New Item Types + Orient Students Prior to Testing • Multiple-Part Items • Field test slots • Evidence-Based Selected-Response (EBSR) Items for English Language Arts – a two-part multiple-choice item that requires students to complete both parts • First part answers inferential or key concept question related to text. Includes one correct response • Second part is evidence from the text used to support the inference or idea. May include one or more correct response(s) • 2-point score value with opportunity for partial credit. Part One and Two must be correct to receive 2-Points. 1-Point if only Part One is correct 14

New Item Types + Orient Students Prior to Testing • Multiple-Select Items • Field test slots • Allows for more than one correct answer • There are five or six options listed • Number of selections are limited to the number of correct responses • Provides students with the opportunity to show fluency and/or multiple representations • 2 points for all correct or 1 point for a specific combination(s).

+ ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS 27

Achievement Levels + Beginning Learners do not yet demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in Georgia’s content standards. The students need substantial academic support to be prepared for the next grade level or course and 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 in Georgia’s content standards. The students need additional academic support to ensure success in the next grade level or course and to be on track for college and career readiness . Proficient Learners demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in Georgia’s content standards. The students are prepared for the next grade level or 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 of learning, as specified in Georgia’s content standards. The students are well prepared for the next grade level or course and are well prepared for college and career readiness .

Developing Learners + Developing Learners demonstrate partial proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified by in Georgia’s content standards. The students need additional academic support to ensure success in the next grade level or course and to be on track for college and career readiness . The Developing Learner achievement level consists of students who have demonstrated partial proficiency; they have a partial command of the knowledge and skills inherent in their grade level or course content standards. These students can be successful in future learning but will likely need some type of focused remediation in their weaker areas ; they do not, necessarily, need a support class. Their learning should be monitored to ensure their success and to increase their opportunity to reach proficiency. In short, this achievement level allows for the recognition of those students who have demonstrated some command, albeit partial, of the grade-level expectations but have not yet reached the full command necessary to signal proficiency. Proficient students demonstrate a strong, solid command of the grade-level or course content and skills.
