Implementing Formative Assessments
• Ordering four digit
numbers
A. All students are able to
successfully complete the
assessment task
B. All but eight students are
able to successfully complete
the assessment task
C. Majority of students struggle
to successfully complete the
assessment task
Differentiation in Math
The Old to the New
• Old Unit 1
– A lot of standards
• New Unit 1
– Place Value
– Rounding
– Addition and Subtraction
Wondering about that recording/task sheet in “What Comes Next”?

Assessment
July 22, 2013 – State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge and Gov.
Nathan Deal announced today that Georgia is withdrawing from the
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)
test development consortium.
Instead, the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) will work with
educators across the state to create standardized tests aligned to Georgia’s
current academic standards in mathematics and English language arts for
elementary, middle and high school students. Additionally, Georgia will seek
opportunities to collaborate with other states.
The press release in its entirety can be found at: http://www.gadoe.org/External-Affairs-andPolicy/communications/Pages/PressReleaseDetails.aspx?PressView=default&pid=123
Assessment
As GaDOE begins to build new assessments, please note that our Georgia
assessments:
will be aligned to the math and English language arts state standards;
will be high-quality and rigorous;
will be developed for students in grades 3 through 8 and high school;
will be reviewed by Georgia teachers;
will require less time to administer than the PARCC assessments;
will be offered in both computer- and paper-based formats; and
will include a variety of item types, such as performance-based and multiplechoice items.
The press release in its entirety can be found at: http://www.gadoe.org/External-Affairs-andPolicy/communications/Pages/PressReleaseDetails.aspx?PressView=default&pid=123
Assessment
We will continue to work with Georgia educators, as we have in
the past, to reconfigure and/or redevelop our state assessments
to reflect the instructional focus and expectations inherent in our
rigorous state standards in language arts and math.
This is not a suspension of the implementation of the CCGPS in
language arts and math.
~ Dr. John Barge

Assessment Resources and Instructional Support Resources
The resource sites designed to support the instructional and assessment needs of teachers.
• CCGPS Frameworks are "models of instruction" designed to support teachers in the implementation of the Common Core
Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS). The Georgia Department of Education, Office of Standards, Instruction, and Assessment
has provided an example of the Curriculum Map for each grade level and examples of Frameworks aligned with the CCGPS to
illustrate what can be implemented within the grade level. School systems and teachers are free to use these models as is; modify
them to better serve classroom needs; or create their own curriculum maps, units and tasks.
• The Teacher Resource Link (TRL) is an application that delivers vetted and aligned digital resources to Georgia’s
teachers. TRL is accessible via the GaDOE “tunnel” in conjunction with LDS using the single sign-on process. The content is aligned
to Common Core Georgia Performance Standards, Georgia Performance Standards, and National Education Technology Standards
and pushed to teachers based on course schedule.
• Georgia Online Assessment (OAS) System Teachers can use the OAS as a tool for Assessment for Learning. Student
results on assessments help teachers identify learner needs and strengths and inform instructional practices. Robust reports also
allow teachers to communicate with students and parents about learner goals, intentions, and outcomes. The OAS helps with a cycle
of assessments, instruction, feedback, and communication that allows teachers, students, and parents to be confident with
instructional success. Teachers will be particularly interested in the Formative Item Bank.
• Webinar support and links direct teachers to archived webinars as well as links to join or view
upcoming webinars.
• Course/Grade Level WIKI spaces- post questions about a unit, a standard, the course, or any
other CCGPS math related concern. Shared resources and information are also available at the
site.
• CRCT Resources available to provide more information for the CRCT as provided by the GaDoe.
• Formula Sheet the formula sheet found on the GaDoe website used on the CRCT.
• Georgiastandards.org a wealth of instructional links and information. Open the Common Core
GPS tab at the top to access specific math resources for CCGPS.
