Milestones

Hello ICSAtlanta 5th and 8th Grade Parents,

Our 5th and 8th grade students will be participating in second language proficiency testing in March. The web-based assessment is called the ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) and is used to measure how students are developing in their target language proficiency (listening, reading, speaking, and writing). The testing window will be from March 17th through March 28th. Though this is our testing window, it does not mean students will be tested every day of the testing window. 

We will begin reviewing the test format with students during class to ensure everyone is prepared for this assessment.

A website, called Experience Online Testing Georgia, has been established to provide an opportunity for students to become familiar with the online testing platform. The website can be found at http://www.gaexperienceonline.com/. This practice site does not require a login and is available 7 days a week. This practice site is not designed as a “practice test” to measure a student’s knowledge of course content and scores will not be generated. Again, it is intended to allow students to familiarize themselves with the online platform before testing.
