Curriculum & Instruction
The Department of Curriculum and Instruction supports evidence-based instructional practices and strategies for differentiated, innovative, and effective teaching and learning based on the State-adopted standards in support of a balanced curriculum for the whole child.
Georgia K-12 teachers in collaboration with post-secondary educators, business and industry representatives, parents, and educational agencies and organizations work to develop challenging and relevant standards.
Georgia standards are reviewed for revision on a regular cycle to stay current with an ever-changing, fast-paced, and technological global society.

Curriculum Information
Tattnall County’s Pre-K Programs are overseen by Bright From the Start, a program by DECAL. For more information concerning Tattnall County’s Pre-K program, contact Chris Freeman or Tarsha Brown. Students take PELI and PPVT pre-literacy assessments to track their progress as pre-school learners, as part of our L4GA literacy grant.
For the 2023-2024 school year, Tattnall County Schools adopted Amplify as the core Reading and ELA curriculum for Grades K-5. In addition, 95 Percent is being used as a phonic supplement to provide systematic and explicit phonics instruction. Our K-3rd grade teachers of reading are being trained in the Science of Reading involving LETRS through Lexia. Additionally, other non-reading teachers in Grades K-3 are going through the Georgia Literacy Academy through Georgia Learns, a free program through GADOE. This will allow us to be compliant with the Georgia Early Literacy Act heading into 2024-2025.
Our K-5 Math Curriculum is Eureka² (aka Eureka Squared) through Great Minds. In addition, our teachers are beginning to crosswalk the new Georgia Math Standards to better ensure alignment of our Eureka program to Georgia pacing and frameworks in Inspire.
At this time, all 6-12 content standards come from the GADOE Georgia Standards which can be found at:

CTAE, Electives, and Dual Enrollment
Students in Tattnall County Schools enjoy exploratory offerings in Grades K-12 in fine arts, physical education, and STEM. Additionally, at TCHS students enter Career Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) through the high school, where students select pathways to become more knowledgeable in career fields as well as potentially gain industry credentialing through various End-of-Pathway Assessments. Lastly, students entering 11th grade often pursue college coursework in concurrence with high school requirements in order to get a head start on post-secondary coursework toward a degree or workforce credentialing. (See TCHS website for more information).
