Common Core Georgia Performance Standards
• Georgia joined with 47 other states to develop a set of core standards for K-
12. These standards provide a consistent framework to prepare students for
success in college and/or the 21st century workplace. On June 2, 2010 the
Common Core State Standards were released. The Georgia State Board of
Education adopted the CCGPS on July 8, 2010.
• The standards give clear guidelines for teaching the subjects, testing what
students are learning, and the work students are doing. They explain the level
of work (rigor) that allows a teacher to know "how good is good enough."

• Student grades are expected to reflect an appropriate amount of curriculum assessment. There should be a balance of grades in each category to support appropriate assignments based on units of study.
• If the course requires an End-of-Course Test (EOCT), the EOCT will weigh 20% of the student’s final grade. The remaining 80% of the student’s grade is determined by the final average in the course.
