Join the GaDOE Assessment Development team to explore the tenets of reading and evidence-based writing and how they are assessed on the Georgia Milestones English language arts (ELA) Assessment. An overview of the Georgia Milestones ELA constructed-response scoring philosophy is provided, along with a deep dive of the Item and Scoring Sampler, its accompanying Supplement, and the intended use of each resource. Teachers will walk away with a clear understanding of how to facilitate and evaluate reading and evidence-based writing throughout the school year, impacting student achievement in the classroom and beyond.
