Common Core Survey

In response to the Governor's request the State Board of Education is reviewing and evaluating the CCGPS in ELA and Mathematics.  As part of the process, DOE developed the following survey for ELA and mathematics teachers, administrators, and other staff to provide input on the content, wording, and sequencing of the standards.

In addition to this survey,  the RESAs are completing a precision review using a more detailed content and grade span survey with RESA staff facilitating the review.  If you have not completed the DOE survey, please take a few minutes to provide your evaluation/suggestions even if you have completed the RESA survey.  All information will remain unanimous.

Gwinnett and Forsyth IE2 Partnership Contracts Extended

The State Board of Education approved extended contracts for Gwinnett County and Forsyth County's IE2 Partnership.  The previous contracts would have expired on June 30, 2014.  They were originally based on five years of school level data; however, the fifth year data analysis can not be conducted until data from the 2013-2014 school year are available which would have been after the contract ended.  The Board approved extended contracts so that a thorough analysis of all five years of data may be conducted.  The contracts will continue to be monitored by the Governor's Office of Student Achievement.
