What undergraduate or graduate degree(s) the teacher holds, including graduate certificates and additional degrees, and major(s) or area(s) of concentration; and

Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals, and if so, their qualifications.

Please know that our staff is committed to helping your child reach his or her highest academic potential throughout their school career. That commitment includes making sure that all of our teachers and paraprofessionals are highly skilled and are providing quality instruction to your child.

Then, Title I will apply the FLP Federal Rank Order to the ranking of academically at-risk students.

FLP Federal Rank Order


FLP Rank Order I: Students in the following subgroups that are not meeting standards as identified by state assessment results: students with disabilities, English Learners, or free and reduced price lunch (FRM) subgroups (Bibb County provides the Community Eligibility Provision instead of FRM); and if funding levels allow

FLP Rank Order II: All other students that are not meeting standards, as identified by state assessment results; and if funding levels allow

.

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones) is a comprehensive summative assessment pro gram spanning grades 3 through high school. Georgia Milestones measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students in grades 3 through 8 will take an end-of-grade assessment in each content area, while high school students will take an end-of-course assessment for each of the eight courses designated by the State Board of Education.

Features the Georgia Milestone Assessment System include:

• open-ended (constructed-response) items in language arts and mathematics (all grades and courses);

• a writing component (in response to passages read by students) at every grade level and course within the language arts assessment;

• norm-referenced items in all content areas and courses, to complement the criterion-referenced information and to provide a national comparison; and

• transition to online administration over time, with online administration considered the primary mode of administration and paper-penc il as back-up until the transition is complete.
