Salzburger’s Removed From Ga History?
Please respond asap, the survey is open until March 14. The Georgia Board of Education currently has a draft to remove the word Salzburger from the text required for Georgia Education. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2527565/Survey-of-Revised-Social-Studies-Standards
Removing the words also removes any school trips to educate Georgia students and teachers. The first link below is a survey in which people can go in and comment that the Salzburgers need to be reinstated as part of the standards. The second is a link to a Crossswalk of the standards.
See figure below…. (The first column shows the standards that are being taught now. The second column is the proposed standards. If you look on page 65 you will see the now standard that includes the Salzburgers (SS8H2b) and that it is no longer included in the proposed standards.)
Please read the changes and take the survey below. You may also email your opinion to the Social Studies coordinator below, your representatives, etc.
