To build a translational bridge between national curriculum standards and junior high school geography teaching, Jiangsu Province has compiled Teaching Guidelines for the Compulsory Education Junior High School Geography Curriculum Standard. Rooted in local teaching realities, the province explores localized implementation approaches for academic quality evaluation. Taking the Guidelines as an example, this paper elaborates its design logic of refi ning academic performances and extracting competency performances based on national curriculum standard, and constructs implementation pathways for key competences cultivation and academic quality assessment. Supported by thematic teaching guidance as well as suggestions on hierarchical, life-oriented and inquiry-based homework design, a complete implementation framework is established to translate curriculum standard into classroom instruction. This research provides localized practical references for regions to advance the curriculum reform and realize the regular implementation of key competences in geography education.
