Welcome to Johnson County School
Curriculum Department
Professional Learning/ Instructional Support
 

Johnson County Schools aligns its curriculum with The Georgia Department of Education. The curriculum is mapped based on the state Frameworks and modified locally to better serve student needs. Clear expectations for instruction, assessment, and student work outcomes (samples of strong work expectations) are the key components of the curriculum. The goal of the instruction is for students to know and understand “How do I know when my work is good enough?” Standards based classrooms (including: lessons with focused opening, work session, and closing, rubrics, commentary with feedback, and student conferencing) are the cornerstone of our curriculum to be sure students understand what they need to learn and what it takes to get there.Johnson County Schools is aligned with the new implementation of the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS).

The state of Georgia joined with 47 other states well over a year ago to develop a CCGPS for K-12 in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics. The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent framework to prepare students for success in college and/or being positioned to be career ready. In curriculum areas other than ELA and math, Johnson County Schools is aligned with the state of Georgia based on Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) and Quality Core Curriculum (QCC). “Literacy Across The Curriculum” establishes the shared responsibly of all teachers to work collaborative for students to meet and /or exceed the expectations in the state standards.
