Georgia standards alignment

Designed for high school. Below is every Georgiastandard these courses cover: the exact code, the standard's own words, and the lesson that covers it. Where we only cover part of a standard, it says so, and says which part.

  • We mapped this ourselves. This alignment was done by Better Vice Club against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by Georgia's education authority or by anyone else.
  • Every code was fetched, then transcribed word for word. Each framework below shows the date its codes and text were retrieved from the publisher.
  • Standards get revised.A code can be renumbered or its wording changed without notice, and some states publish more than one live edition of the same document. Confirm anything you file against your own jurisdiction's current requirements, using the source links below.
  • We would rather claim less. Where the courses only partly cover a standard, this page says partially covered and explains the gap. Standards we considered and could not honestly claim are listed at the bottom, with the reasons.

Georgia Standards of Excellence — American Government/Civics (SSCG)

GSE · Approved June 9, 2016 · Updated November 2, 2023 · Georgia Department of Education · retrieved 2026-07-17

Georgia's required American Government/Civics course (course number 45.057), described by 18 standards (SSCG1-18) with lettered elements. SSCG17 names Georgia's own state and local government described in the Georgia Constitution — the home for the Georgia Civics flagship. We cite each standard's verbatim stem and state the covered elements in the note.

  • SSCG12

    Partially covered
    Describe the tools used to carry out United States foreign policy, including diplomacy and treaties; economic, military, and humanitarian aid; and sanctions and military intervention.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 18 · The Balloon Effect
    • · Ep 17 · Where the Poppy Grows (Afghanistan and the Golden Crescent)
    • · Ep 16 · The Justice Gap

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: U.S. foreign policy is taught through one arm — the War on Drugs' foreign-policy dimension (U.S.-funded eradication, aid, and intervention against source countries). The general diplomacy/treaties/sanctions toolkit is not taught.

Georgia Standards of Excellence — World Geography (SSWG)

GSE · Approved June 9, 2016 · Updated November 2, 2023 · Georgia Department of Education · retrieved 2026-07-17

Georgia's World Geography course (SSWG1-6). The BVC Commodity Map is this course's strongest home — Georgia's SSWG5e even names "plantation farming in Africa and Central/South America" as a global-trade-and-environment case.

Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards — Grades 9-12

Approved May 2023 · in effect SY2025-2026 · Georgia Department of Education · retrieved 2026-07-17

Georgia's NEW K-12 ELA standards (Approved May 2023) took effect for 2025-2026, replacing the Common Core-derived GSE ELA — so Georgia is NOT mapped through our shared Common Core file. The standards are grade-band (9-12), organized as Domains → Big Ideas → Standards; we cite the Texts-domain standards this catalog meets.

What we don't claim

A standards page is only worth reading if the omissions are honest too. We looked at these and left them out:

  • Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no Georgia mathematics standard.
  • Science — Georgia's own GSE Science (NOT NGSS), deferred not denied. We verified that Georgia's science standards are the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Science — Georgia's own, NOT the NGSS. We did not fetch and transcribe them this pass, and our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so Georgia carries no science claim here. The climate-and-resources content the NGSS states pick up through HS-ESS3-1 maps instead to Georgia social studies (World Geography SSWG1 and SSWG5, World History SSWH16). Georgia's high-school Environmental Science standards are the candidate home for a future pass.
  • American Government/Civics standards checked and rejected. SSCG2 (the political-philosophy genealogy — the Magna Carta through Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu, as named texts), SSCG9 (the impeachment and removal process), and SSCG11 (the federal bureaucracy, its departments and agencies, and the Cabinet) are not genuinely taught, so we do not claim them.
  • Economics — the personal-finance course, macroeconomics, and the market-structure standards. The personal-finance standards (SSEPF1-10), macroeconomics (SSEMA1-3 — GDP, the Federal Reserve, fiscal policy), the microeconomic circular-flow and market-structure standards (SSEMI1, SSEMI3), the scarcity and rational-decision standards (SSEF1, SSEF2, SSEF4), and the exchange-rate standard (SSEIN2) were checked and are not taught. We claim the international-trade and economic-systems standards where the lessons land.
  • World and U.S. history beyond the mapped standards. Georgia's SSWH and SSUSH are full surveys. This catalog teaches world and U.S. history in specific places — exploration and the Columbian Exchange, imperialism and the Opium Wars, the Haitian Revolution, the Gilded Age unions, the Great Migration, Prohibition and the Harlem Renaissance, the Wagner Act, and Poland's exit from communism — not as surveys, so the remaining ancient/medieval, world-war, and U.S.-survey standards are not claimed.
  • The direct-democracy tools SSCG17e names — Georgia does not have the initiative. Georgia's own SSCG17e lists "the initiative, referendum, and recall" as limitations citizens may exercise on state and local government. But Georgia has NO statewide citizen initiative: the flagship teaches that absence and the legislative-referral path (a two-thirds vote of each house, then voter ratification) honestly, rather than describing a tool Georgia does not provide. So the standard is claimed (partial) for what Georgia's civics actually is, not padded to look like a direct-democracy state.
  • The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. Georgia's closest frameworks (Computer Science, World Languages) have not been fetched and verified this pass. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no Georgia claims here.
