interdisciplinary instruction.
Providing common planning time for teachers is a major barrier in the development of interdisciplinary instruction

How the State has HelpedGeorgia provides:
State content standards in all areas (through Georgia’s Quality Core Curriculum) that give teachers and school leaders clear ideas of what they need to get students to learn;
Mandatory state graduation tests (GHSGT) in English/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies and writing that send the message to all students that they need to master challenging content, regardless of their ethnicity or socioeconomic backgrounds; and
An accountability system (Georgia Public Education Report Card) that measures school performance and gives schools a way to measure themselves.
