Why is it important for your student to take the GMAS?

The tests provide information about whether students are grasping their subjects according to the state-adopted standards in the core areas of English language arts (ELA 6-8), math 6-8, science 8th only, and social studies 8th only, and whether they are ready to progress to the next grade.

They offer a “snapshot” of what students can do in those subjects. But they are also important for school and district accountability. Informing the students, parents, educators, and the public about how well students are learning important content is an essential aspect of any educational assessment and accountability system.

Informing parents, educators, and the public about how well students are learning important content is an essential aspect of any educational assessment and accountability system.  Parents, the public, and policy makers, including local school districts and boards of education, can use the results as a barometer of the quality of educational opportunity provided throughout the state of Georgia.

Powerful Words 

 Why are we implementing powerful words?

. • These are higher level thinking words and will be seen throughout the GMAS

 • Students need to be exposed to these words so that they feel comfortable with them when they see them on an assessment.
