CRCT Results Show New Curriculum is Working
The results of the 2007 Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) show that Georgia’s new
curriculum is making a difference. In the classes where the new Georgia Performance Standards
(GPS) have been taught for two years, the percent passing the CRCT has gone up in practically
every area. "The CRCT results demonstrate that our teachers are getting more comfortable
with our standards-based curriculum and that our students are benefiting from the rigor and
focus of the Georgia Performance Standards," State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox
said.
