Common Core Future in Florida

July 29th, 2013 by flanews

Florida’s constant change with school assessments has Senate President Don Gaetz speaking out on Common Core.

Florida is one of dozens of states that have adopted the program. Many politicians have said common core started as a well-intentioned effort to challenge students using rigorous curriculum standards.

Speaker of the House and Senate President Gaetz called on the state to pull out of the group who has designed the tests aligned with Common Core. Gaetz says he wants to make sure standards are high for students and teachers.

”I’m for higher standards as a former superintendent of schools,” said Senate President Don Gaetz. “I think if you raise standards and you provide tools for effective teaching, you get better results.”

Florida has changed how schools are graded again this year…creating concerns with school district’s grades.
