Abstract

America's teachers face many obstacles but one of the most common is change. The shift to standards-based teaching and the national initiative of common standards have created challenges for school districts as they prepare and support their teachers through these changes. This dissertation provides insight into how one county supported its teachers through the transition to Common Core Georgia Performance Standards. Additionally, the research looks at the perceptions of teachers toward the support given and resources provided by the district and school level administration.
