This important update affects how students will build essential literacy skills, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening, from elementary school through high school.
In this episode, Dr. Robin Cartright, English Language Arts Program Manager for the Georgia Department of Education, provides a comprehensive overview of the changes. Dr. Cartright explains why the state has updated the standards, how the revisions are designed to better prepare students for real-world communication, and what these shifts will look like in classrooms across the state.
Parents and caregivers will learn what to expect as the new standards are implemented and receive practical tips on how to reinforce these literacy skills at home. The episode is designed to equip families with the knowledge and tools they need to stay actively involved in their child’s learning journey.
