High School Mathematics in Georgia Fall GASSP Conference November 4, 2013 Sandi Woodall swoodall@doe.k12.ga.us
High School Mathematics in Georgia What are the facts surrounding CCGPS? OR …more simply said, why did we have to change high school mathematics in the first place in 2008 and AGAIN in 2012?
We hear so many reasons why we should not have made changes …and we are expected to respond.
So why did we change our high school expectations in mathematics?
