Curriculum, Assessment and Instruction
The School Improvement division at Pioneer RESA is organized into three major areas of operations: Professional Learning, Curriculum, Assessment & Instruction, and School Improvement.
The Department of Curriculum, Assessment and Instruction provides training and consultant services to teachers and administrators relative to implementation of the Georgia Performance Standards, curriculum design and implementation, instructional strategies, and student assessment.
Georgia Performance Standards:
As required by the Quality Basic Education Act of 1985, Georgia must maintain a curriculum that specifies what students are expected to know in each subject and grade. Additionally, the state’s standardized tests, the Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) for grades 1-8 and the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) for Grade 11, must be aligned with that curriculum.
The state’s curriculum is a guideline for instruction that helps teachers, students, and parents know what topics must be covered and mastered for a particular course. The curriculum establishes the minimum standards, and does not prohibit systems, schools, or teachers from adding material to it. Some systems may have curricula of their own, but they must include everything that the state requires.
