On georgiastandards.com, more help for teachers, prospective teachers, and parents is available than just the standards. There are numerous videos about a variety of subjects that would be helpful to teachers. One of the videos I tried to watch was not available; I’m not sure whether that is normal or not, but assuming that is an abberation, the videos could be very usesful. I was able to find a great deal of information about the 8th grade writing assessment, including aggregate data of scores, methods of testing, and methods of grading. I also saw that they have a Professional Learning Program. Under the Teacher section on the home page, I was able to see that specific information about the gifted program works, with information from how students are qualified to how teachers qualify for teaching in the gifted program. I definitely need to explore this site further.
