Curriculum

Standards Based Curriculum

Georgia performance standards provide clear expectations for assessment, instruction, and student work. They define the level of work that demonstrates achievement of the standards, enabling a teacher to know "how good is good enough". The performance standards isolate and identify the skills needed to use the knowledge and skills to problem solve, reason, communicate, and make connections with other information. Performance standards have been implemented in reading for all grades. This year we will implement math standards for K-2 and Science standards for grades 3-5.

Below you will find a link to the Phase-In Plan for implementing the new GPS Standards and a link to the Georgia Department of Education website. These sites should prove helpful in understanding the expectations of your child.

GPS Phase-In Plan
This site shows how the new GPS Standards will be phased-in over the years. It is different for each grade level, so be sure to identify your child's grade level and the years of implementation.
