    2013 Georgia Highlights

    Georgia has implemented a path to personalized learning and continues to work to create a blended, yet personalized approach to learning for each student. Teachers are able to see current course schedules with student performance data alongside the standards to which they must teach and the available digital content aligned to those standards. The statewide learning management system allows them to assign digital resources directly. Additionally, Georgia offers both full and part-time online courses to its students.

    Current Strengths and Reform Opportunities

    • Students are rewarded for mastery in Georgia as they must demonstrate proficiency on standards-based competencies to progress
    • Poor providers and courses are closed by the state
    • Georgia could require that students complete at least one online course to earn a high school diploma
