GCS Director of Technology Chuck Langston recently presented at the Tennessee Educational Technology Conference (TETC 2025), where educators from across the country learned how iPads are used in our classrooms to support student learning!
During his session, Mr. Langston explained how iPads help simplify everyday classroom tasks for teachers (classroom workflows) and give students more ways to learn and show what they know through writing, drawing, recording audio, creating videos, and working together digitally (multimodal learning). This approach helps meet students where they are and keeps learning engaging and accessible for all.
Mr. Langston has presented at many conferences and webinars over the years, and his leadership in educational technology continues to make a positive impact on our students and schools!

#ExtraordinaryGCS #ExtraordinaryBES
CCRPI scores are calculated using multiple indicators that measure student achievement, progress, readiness, and closing gaps. A key component of the CCRPI is student performance and growth on state assessments, including the Georgia Milestones End-of-Grade (EOG) and End-of-Course (EOC) tests. Additional factors include graduation rates, progress of English Learners, and indicators of college and career readiness.
Closing Gaps: Measures how well a school is improving performance among all student groups, especially those that have historically underperformed. It emphasizes equity and ensures all students are making gains.
English Learner (ELL) Proficiency: Evaluates the progress of English learners in developing English language skills, using the ACCESS for ELLs assessment.
