  • Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.

  • In Re Innocoll Holdings Public : Ltd
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA : : IN RE INNOCOLL HOLDINGS PUBLIC : LTD. CO. SEC. LITIG. : CIVIL ACTION : : No. 17-341 : MEMORANDUM PRATTER, J. SEPTEMBER 5, 2018 The plaintiffs in this securities class action allege that Innocoll Holdings Public Ltd. Co., Chief Executive Officer Anthony Zook, and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Lesley Russell made misleading statements or omissions about XaraColl, a collagen product the pharmaceutical company was developing during the class period. The defendants allegedly made positive statements about the New Drug Application for XaraColl even though they knew, or recklessly failed to know, that XaraColl contained device components that had not yet been tested. The plaintiffs contend that, by making such statements, the defendants misled investors who relied on the positive statements. The plaintiffs present securities fraud claims against all defendants under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. They also make individual control liability claims against Mr. Zook and Dr. Russell under Section 20(a). The defendants filed a motion to dismiss all the claims under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). In doing so, they attached to their motion a declaration from the plaintiffs’ confidential witness, which then prompted the plaintiffs to file a motion to convert the motion to dismiss into one for summary judgment. 1 For the reasons outlined in this Memorandum, the Court: (1) denies the motion to convert and, instead, disregards the declaration; and (2) grants the motion to dismiss with leave to amend because the plaintiffs failed to meet the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act’s heightened pleading standard relating to the element of scienter.
