To be literate in science and social studies, students need the most accurate, updated education possible.
Thus the State Board of Education is once again beginning a process of revising the Georgia Performance Standards.
Earlier this year, the board revised English language arts and mathematics standards. Now, it is updating standards for science and social studies.
The state board is asking for teacher input into the new revisions, and a survey was posted April 16 asking for teacher evaluations. It closes June 15, at which point input will be considered and the revision process will begin.
“The survey data will be analyzed and hopefully, by early 2016, we will be able to ask the board to post revised standards for 60 days of public comment,” said Matt Cardoza, director of communications for the Georgia Department of Education. “ … Teacher training and resource development will be provided prior to implementation.”
Cardoza added a date of implementation of the new standards has not yet been set.
