The Exploration of Georgia’s Language Standards course for grades 3-5 is designed to deepen educators’ understanding of the newly adopted Georgia Language Standards, specifically focusing on Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics (GUM). This course provides educators with the knowledge, tools, and instructional strategies necessary to effectively teach young learners grammar concepts and language conventions, fostering strong literacy skills and communication abilities.
The participants will engage in hands-on activities, collaborative discussions, and reflective exercises designed to deepen their understanding of GUM instruction and its impact on student learning. In addition, participants will receive practical strategies and resources to implement in their classrooms, empowering them to support young learners in developing strong language skills as they become effective communicators.
