Florida Department of Education Announces Third Stop on Standards Listening Tour
Tallahassee, Fla. – Today, Florida Department of Education leadership will conduct the third of three public forums where Floridians will have the opportunity to offer public input on the recently revised drafts of Florida’s student academic standards in several content areas.
Earlier this year, the Florida Department of Education opened Rule 6A-1.09401, Florida Administrative Code, for rule development to adopt or revise student academic standards for several content areas. These include Civics and Government (revised), Holocaust Education (new), Character Education (new), B.E.S.T. English Language Arts (ELA) standards (technical and minor revisions that will not affect implementation), Substance Use and Abuse standards (new), and Access Points – Alternate Academic Achievement Standards for the B.E.S.T. ELA and Mathematics Standards for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities (new).
The revised drafts were crafted based on feedback the Department of Education received over the last several months from Florida teacher experts and the education community. Based on school district and public feedback, the latest drafts of the standards are now posted at http://www.fldoe.org/standardsreview/.
Tonight’s public forum will be live streamed on The Florida Channel.
