General or Specific SGOs

SGOs can be classified as “general” or “specific.” However, in some cases, the line between these is blurry. It is better to think of general and specific SGOs being on a continuum.

GeneralSpecific

GeneralSpecific

• Broad

• Includes a significant proportion of

the curriculum and key standards

for a given course

• Includes all, or a significant

number, of a teacher’s students

God Bless you for the work you do each and every day for our students, this community, and this country.

Have a Great Year!
