Common Core Georgia Performance Standards Educator Resource

This Common Core Georgia Performance Standards Educator Resource is designed to provide teachers with clarification of the English Language Arts Common Core Georgia Performance Standards, including how they relate to and derive from the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards and how the Literacy Standards for Social Studies/History, Science, and Technical Subjects are integrated into instruction. Included in this document are the three sets of standards in their entirety: CCR, ELA CCGPS, and Literacy CCGPS, along with detailed explication, research, and implementation guidance. The standards and associated resources were designed based on the input and collaboration of thousands of local and national language arts educators, with the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards evolving through a precision review process that spanned more than a year and involved the generous efforts of educators from nearly every county in the state. It is our hope that this document will serve not only as a handy daily resource for constructing curriculum, but also as a critical reference text that will assist users of the standards in building a strong, intrinsic familiarity with and enthusiasm for the scope and purpose of this promising initiative.
