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

Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT)
Test alignment is completed during
Year II implementation for each content area and grade level.
