AI Summary
- Georgia House of Representatives affirms the state's adoption of the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS) for K-12 education in English language arts, mathematics, and grades 6-12 literacy in science, history/social studies, and technical subjects, formally adopted in Fall 2012
- Georgia led a bipartisan coalition of 47 states in 2009, under Governor Sonny Perdue, through the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers to develop voluntary, internationally benchmarked academic standards
- The CCGPS is not a curriculum and preserves local control for educators, schools, and districts to determine teaching methods and textbook selection, while student data remains protected under state and federal privacy laws
- Supported by a broad coalition including the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, GE, IBM, Microsoft, Georgia Association of Educators, Georgia PTA, University System of Georgia, and other business, education, and civic organizations
- Calls on Georgia to honor its commitment to implementing the CCGPS and provide educators proper support, emphasizing the standards prepare students for high-skill, high-wage occupations and global competitiveness
