Standards Update• Only the standards themselves were adopted in 2010. The

appendices including text exemplars, sample performance tasks, samples of student writing, and designed high school math courses will not be state adopted. Decisions regarding these documents remain decisions of local school boards

• Opportunity for public comment was provided during October 2013. Stakeholders were permitted to comment on a standard-by-standard basis via a website or by e-mail. The 19,000+ comments will be reviewed and considered when finalizing the standards. The goal is to reaffirm that all the standards are strong and adequately reflect what we deem important for students to know in Florida.

Assessment Update

• Florida as withdrawn as the fiscal agent for PARCC.

• A competitive solicitation will be issued to select Florida’s next state assessment.

• An assessment of standards utilized in classrooms will be implemented in the 2014-2015 school year.
