11. The Florida Standards Why Are We Changing?
Emphasize success in college and careers
Prepare students with 21st century skills
Provide more rigorous content and application of knowledge
Place emphasis on critical and analytical thinking
Establish clear, consistent guidelines for instruction
The intent of the new Florida Standards is to provide for more rigorous instruction so that students have the knowledge and skills to meet the demands of the 21st century: “college and career ready” “success for any path that a student takes in life”
Students must be better prepared to compete in the global job market with a skill set and a knowledge base that support their ability to work with new technologies and in careers that are presently evolving. These standards will drive this change.

12. 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
The new Florida Standards will address:
MAFS - mathematics and (LAFS) English language arts
Other subject areas (science, social sciences) will continue under the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards
