State Superintendent Barge Still A Common Core Supporter

Georgia state superintendent John Barge says he has not changed his stance on the effectiveness of the state’s adopted Common Core standards.

Those standards are supposed to provide an objective benchmark for planning curriculum, setting expectations, and measuring student progress.

But as WABE’s Rose Scott reports, Barge is also depending on feedback about Common Core standards in case some tweaking needs to occur.
