I went to the Georgia Standards website assuming that it was going to be tricky to navigate and full of confusing lingo that I would never understand or really be able to use. I expected books of complicated language, unachieveable expectations, and overall misery, but was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. Not only were the standards accesible and easy to read, they translated well across many areas of my field and were not as endless as I orginially expected.

I was really impressed with the resources page as well. It gave several different links to helpful websites and interesting discussions in the field of education. I could tell that it was kept up with and that the webmasters were really interested in giving teachers a place where they could find good, solid, helpful stuff to refer to or to use in their classrooms. I browsed the AP website for quite a while because that’s the type of student I would like to teach and I was interested to see what the site had to offer for teachers. Again, I was impressed with the amount of information present on the site and could really see using it as a resource when I’m teaching.

Clearly, the Standards website is more than just some old, dusty webpage that never gets revisited. I’m glad that I checked it out because now I have another resource in my corner.
