Georgia Performance Standards(GPS)
Previous curriculum was the Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) for over 20 years
Currently GPS for 7 years (2005-2012) 4th/5th grade students entire school career
Moving to Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS) (2012-2013)
WHY the GPS curriculum?
Phi Delta Kappa Audit Age of QCC Lack of Depth and Rigor Alignment of Instruction and
Assessment Alignment to International
Standards
Resulting in…
Mandate of GPS Rigor Depth Clear Expectations Instructional Guide Student-Focused
Accolades of GPS
Overall Grade 2010:By the Thomas Fordham Institute
Georgia: Grade A-Clarity and Specificity 3/3Content and Rigor 6/7
Total GPS Score 9/10Georgia is one of eight states receiving at least 9/10
points.

Why is the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) initiative
important for 2012-2013?
•Disparate standards create confusing expectations across the states.
•Global competitive edge is lagging among students in the US.
•Current workforce skills do not match 21st century workplace demands.
Why are the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics right for
Georgia?
Previous work with the GPS.
Prior GPS training ensures a smooth transition.
All of the standards are addressed in the GPS.
CCSS expectations are consistent with a single/high-rigor diploma requirement for all students.
