Essential Question 1Essential Question 1

What are the Georgia Performance Standards?

Performance Standards. . .Performance Standards. . .Are:

• Georgia Performance Standards (GPS)

• What students are to learn, know, and understand

• Clear expectations of performance

• Curriculum document• Few in number• Application of content

Are Not:• New Quality Core

Curriculum (QCC)• How teachers are to

teach• Comprehensive school

reform• Instructional handbook• Checklist of objectives• Coverage of content

StrengthsStrengths of the GPSof the GPS

• Depth not breadth

• Ladder, not a spiral

• Better organization by strands

• Same standards for all learners

• Success and achievement based

• Less time spent on review

• Better vertical correlation
