IDENTIFIERS
ABSTRACT
Georgia's Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) originated in 1984
with a recommendation for review every 5 years. In 1996, teachers,
administrators, parents, and business leaders throughout Georgia reviewed and
analyzed the existing QCC in an effort to update the curriculum, reflect
technological advances, and create a more effective base for teaching. This
1999 report on Georgia's education for students in grades 6-8 presents core
curriculum requirements in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science,
sccial studies, health and physical education, fine arts (dance, music,
theater, and visual arts), technology/career education; and agriculture
education. For each curriculum area, the report presents at introduction and
a description of the revision process and revisions made for that specific
area.
