myPerspectives® Georgia English Language Arts is a powerful, next-generation literacy program that places students at the center of learning and gives teachers the right tools and resources, research-based guidance, and autonomy to support each unique learner.
Empower and inspire lifelong literacy learning with high quality instructional resources, engaging content, cutting-edge technology, and purposeful activities that develop students into confident, effective, and powerful communicators.
Relevant, diverse texts and media enable students to see themselves reflected in the stories and develop their own voice, as they build knowledge and participate in broader conversations.
From intriguing thematic units to Hook & Inspire features to current events podcasts, myPerspectives connects with students today and enables them to bring their own ideas and lived experiences to enrich learning.
Students analyze texts through the eyes of a reader and writer and have academic discussions. They work on group projects, create their own compositions, and complete rigorous performance-based assessments.
myPerspectives Georgia on Savvas Realize® lets students use technology to make learning come alive with multimedia resources, personalized learning tools, and interactive lessons and video tutorials.
