ABSTRACTThe student performance standards of excellence in

mathematics, science, social studies, and writing for Florida schoolswere developed cooperatively by the Florida Department of Education,local school district personnel and representatives of institutionsof higher education. These standards and skills were reviewed byteachers and supervisors throughout the state. A second revision wassent to superintendents in each district for review by appropriatepersons with subject area expertise. ILput from reviews was used toprepare the final document for State Board of Education approval. Thestandards represent general and higher-level competencies at grades3, 5, 8, and 12. Written in broad general terms, the standards areintended to communicate with the general public. The skill statementsprovide teachers and curriculum specialists with more specificinformation concerning the performance expected of Ugh-achievingstudents at specific grade levels. These skills will form the basisfor a state assessment program in each of the areas of mathematics,science, social studies and writing. Tables summarize the number ofapplicable standards and skills for each grade level. A listing bysubject area of standards and skills and the grade levels to whichthey apply, comprises the balance of the document. Upon the authorityof the Educational Reform Act of 1983 the Florida State Board ofEducation approved these standards of excellence on September 20,1983 and required each district school board to adopt by July 1,1984, rules which provide for appropriate instruction based uponthese standards.

Commissioner's MessageFlorida's major t. crust in education, as indicated by our state's current goal tobecome a state of educational distinction, is focused upon higher achievement inall academic areas. The students in Florida's public schools have been demon-strating continuous progress as reflected through improved scores on the StateStudent Assessment Tests based on the state adopted minimum student per-formance standards.

The educational leadership throughout this state has provided the knowledge andresources that account for this improvement, and I am sure that the strongsupport of students, parents and the general public for our educational programswill ensure continued improvement in student achievement.

In keeping with our success and our goal to make Florida a state of educationaldistinction, the Division of Public Schools has developed student performancestandards of excellence in mathematics, science, social studies and writing.These standards were developed and reviewed statewide through the coonerativeefforts of teachers, district supervisors end administrators, community collegeand university personnel, department of education personnel and lay citizens.

These standards represent a broad spectrum of higher-level competenciesexpected of those students who demonstrate progress toward academic excel-lence in specified fields of study in our public schools. The skills will form thebasis for a state assessment program in each of the areas of mathematics,science, social studies and writing. Information obtained through assessment willbe used to evaluate the effectiveness of programs in helping students obtain thesecompetencies.

The Florida Legislature passed the Educational Reform Act of 1983, whichrequires the State Board of Education to approve student performance standardsof excellence in mathematics and science and other areas which the Commis-sioner of Education determines shall hest indicate the status of the state system ofpublic education. Upon the authority Gf this Act, the State Board of Education, onSeptember 20, 1983, approved the standards of excellence contained herein andadopted State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.9411 which requires each districtschool board to adopt by July 1, 1984, rules which provide for appropriateinstruction based upon these student performance standards of excellence.

We are proud of Florida's role in providing a new dimension to the competencymovement, as Florida continues its thrust to the upper quartile.

Sincerely,

Preparation of the Student Performance Standards ofExcellence

The student performance standards of excellence for Florida schools were deve-loped cooperatively by the Florida Department of Education, local school districtpersonnel and representatives of institutions of higher education. The develop-ment of these standards was initiated in 1982 by the Division of Public Schools withthe Performance Standards Section of the Bureau of Program Support Servicescoordinating this development in cooperation with the Program AssistanceSection of the Bureau of Curriculum Services. These standards and skills werereviewed by teachers and supervisors in school districts throughout the state. Asecond revision was mailed to each district superintendent for a final review byappropriate persons with expertise in the subject area being reviewed. More thanfour thousand persons (mathematics, science, social studies and writing) fromover fifty districts and all regions, representing elementary, midd: junior highand senior high schools were involved in the reviews. The input received throughall of the reviews was used to prepare the final document for State Board ofEducation approval.

Organization of the Student PerformanceStandards of Excellence

As these standards are incorporated into each district's program of studies, itshould be noted that the standards represent general and higher-level compe-tencies at grades 3, 5, 8 and 12. The standards developed in each academic areaare written in broad general terms and are intended to communicate with thegeneral public. The skill statements provide teachers and curriculum specialistswith more specific information concerning the performance expected of high-achieving students at specified grade levels.

The foilowing table summarizes the number of applicable standards and skills foreach grade level.
