August 12, 2015 – The Georgia
Department of Education is seeking public feedback as it conducts a review of
the Science and Social Studies K-12 standards. After this process is complete,
the new standards will be implemented in the 2017-18 school year.
Click
here to provide input on the current standards. This is a user-friendly,
brief survey for professionals, parents and families, community members,
students, and others.
“Educators
have already given us valuable feedback on the current standards, and we wanted
to make sure the public had a chance to weigh in as well,” State School
Superintendent Richard Woods said. “I’m committed to ensuring guaranteed,
viable standards – standards that are appropriate and fully vetted. That can’t
be done without input from all education stakeholders.”
Responses
to this survey will be added to the educator responses and will be considered
when Working Committees draft the revised standards.
The deadline
to submit responses is September 15 at midnight
EST.
