THE FLORIDA STANDARDS New State Standards: 2014-2015 School Year

The Florida Standards

Why Are We Changing? Emphasize success in college and careers st  Prepare students with 21 century skills  Provide more rigorous content and application of knowledge  Place emphasis on critical and analytical thinking  Establish clear, consistent guidelines for instruction 

The Florida Standards

What Subjects Are Included? Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) and Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS) provide a clear set of goals and expectations  Define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level – kindergarten through grade 12 

The Florida Standards

What Do They Mean For Teaching and Learning? LAFS 







Regular practice with complex  text & academic language Reading, writing, listening and speaking grounded in evidence from text  Real world applications  Build knowledge through content-rich text

MAFS

Deeper understanding of mathematical concepts Builds habits of mind of productive mathematical thinkers Real-world applications Modeling with pictures technology, graphs, manipulatives

The Florida Standards

What About the New Assessments? 



LAFS and MAFS will be assessed with the new Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) Spring 2015 administration of middle school assessments will include:  English Language Arts (ELA): Grades 6-8  ELA Writing Component: Grades 6-8  Mathematics: Grades 6-8

*Grades 6-8 will have Computer Based Testing for all of these assessments

How May I Help My Child? 









Read different types of books and informational text with your child Ask your child to find answers to questions in the text of books, newspaper articles, manuals, etc. Encourage your child to form and defend opinions by supporting these with facts, details and reasons from text Discuss mathematics ideas with your child have them explain these to you using pictures, graphs, etc.

Visit the Florida Standards Assessment online portal at: www.fsassessments.org to become familiar with the new assessments.

Civics EOC 



The primary content for this course pertains to the principles, functions, and organization of government; the origins of the American political system; the roles, rights, responsibilities of United States citizens; and methods of active participation in our political system. In spring 2015, A student’s performance on the statewide administered Civics EOC Assessment must constitute 30 percent of the student’s final course grade. Baseline data will be collected to establish a minimum passing score on the Civics EOC Assessment.
