The Georgia Department of Education is doing some spring cleaning on the Social Studies Performance Standards. The proposed standards are currently open for a 30-day public review. Survey opportunities close on June 3, 2016, 5:00 P.M. E.S.T. If approved, the standards will be implemented in the 2017-2018 school year. The 2016-2017 school year will be used to get teachers up-to-speed on the new Social Studies Performance Standards through teacher training.

This is where we are today. The Proposed social standards are as follows:
