Will CRCT history repeat itself?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Teachers and students in grades six and seven will soon get revised social studies curriculum.
State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox ordered the extensive revisions after more than 70 percent of sixth- and seventh-graders failed the new social studies CRCT. Cox, a former social studies teacher, said there was breakdown between the test questions and the new curriculum.
Many of the comment cards turned in by teachers and others say the changes are an improvement. But many worry whether it is enough to prevent a repeat of low scores.
Are you worred about social studies this year? What else do you think the state needs to do to prevent a repeat of widespread failure?
