Glad to see this. May it spread!
Some of the major changes to the K-12 standards include:
Place reading at the core of the standards development process;
Place elevated focus on memorizing math facts;
Content-rich standards that focus on classic literature;
Define rigor as the product of maintaining high expectations for students
The new B.E.S.T. standards will fulfill the governor’s mandate to “identify opportunities to equip high school graduates with sufficient knowledge of America’s civics, particularly the principles reflected in the United States Constitution, so as to be capable of discharging the responsibilities associated with American citizenship.”
Changes to the curriculum will include a civics literacy examination for all high school seniors and a recommended reading list that includes America’s significant foundational documents.
The Governor Desantis education plan sounds great! My it spread, indeed. Thanks for posting.
I can only guess that the Teachers will sue him. States like Kalifornia will send kids to remedial courses before they can join a classroom two years behind their Florida status....
