Georgia & Defined

Defined & Georgia Alignment

Alignment with Georgia Standards

Defined’s content aligns with the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE). Defined helps bridge classroom content with authentic career applications enabling students to develop and transfer knowledge while building essential future-ready skills.

In addition, Defined supports statewide initiatives such as the National Career Cluster Model, High School Pathways, Academic Career Pathways, Middle School Introduction, and more, helping districts guide students in exploring careers, setting goals, and tracking readiness for college, career, and life. Our comprehensive ecosystem of career-connected deeper learning resources also empowers schools to advance their Portrait of a Graduate or locally defined graduate profiles through high-quality content and assessments aligned to Georgia's priorities.

Career-Connected Learning

Defined’s comprehensive career-connected learning platform aligns with Georgia's career and technical education initiatives such as the National Career Cluster Model, High School Pathways, Academic Career Pathways, Middle School Introduction, CTAE (Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education) Progam, and the Perkins V State Plan. Our resources help districts strengthen the implementation of CTE by connecting academic learning to Georgia's 17 career clusters and state-recognized programs of study ensuring students explore high-demand pathways aligned with Georgia's workforce priorities.

Through engaging hands-on and minds-on projects across all career clusters and pathways, students build career awareness, reflect on their skills and interests, and gain authentic experiences across industries. Defined also supports Georgia's IGP and local Portrait of a Graduate frameworks by helping districts equip students with employability skills, real-world knowledge, and the confidence to pursue success in college, career, and life.
