The Georgia Department of Education is conducting a review of the Science and Social Studies K-12 Standards. This process began over the 2015 summer with a survey of over 18,000 K-12 educators. The educator survey has closed, and results are being analyzed. In addition to the educator survey, the Department welcomes comments from family members, community members, business representatives, and professionals in this survey.
In addition to the educator survey results, these survey results will be offered to a working committee that consists of educators from K-12 and higher education as they revise the standards. The final version of the revised standards will go through a period of public review and comment in the Spring of 2016.
Note that Georgia’s K-12 standards provide a general guide for what content knowledge and skills students are expected to learn. Standards are not meant to dictate instructional strategies or programs. Those are local decisions.
This survey will be open from August 10, 2015, until Tuesday, September 15, 2015, at midnight (12:00 a.m. EST).
Thank you for providing your voice in the standards revision process.
