| The Georgia Board of Education, which governs the K-12 system of public schools, is in the final phase of implementing the K-12 Georgia Performance Standards to its curriculum. These performance standards place more emphasis on standards-based assessment and less on content-based assessment. The Georgia Board of Regents, which governs the 35 public post-secondary schools in the state, is currently studying ways to implement the K-12 Georgia Performance Standard model in its teacher education curriculum, with the objective that future teachers should receive their own education in the manner in which they will work later on. An early status report will be presented to explain the tenets of how performance standards are being developed at Georgia Perimeter College that serve these Board of Regents objectives. Performance standards of any type are quality standards designed to improve control the outcomes of a process, whether at the level of the classroom, the discipline, the curriculum, or the institution. The exercise to create uniform standards is formidable at the institutional level. We will share our early progress in this area as it relates to chemistry and other subjects. |
