Florida Standards ELA Math (CCSS) Resources

Florida Standards (CCSS) Math ELA Assessments Updates and Resources | ELA and Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS Teat) and Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS Test) The finalized MAFS and LAFS are to be fully implemented across the grades in the 2014-15 school year.

The FCAT 2.0 is being replaced with the online PARCC assessments in 2014-2015. The online PARCC test will replace the paper pencil FCAT 2.0 assessment and is a more difficult (rigorous) assessment. The cost for the new Florida Standards Assessment is less according to the FDOE, with the promise of more free online resource for parents and teachers. The PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) or SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) are both less expensive than the current FCAT 2.0 assessments. Pearson is the publisher that developed the FCAT, FCAT 2.0 and is proving content for the PARCC and SBAC assessments.

Mathematics - Adopted March 2014

The Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS) include the K-8 grade level standards, 9-12 content standards (placed in high school courses as appropriate), and K-12 Standards for Mathematical Practice.
2014 Mathematics Florida Standards (PDF, 1MB)
2010 Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (Common Core) – Mathematics
2007 Mathematics Next Generation Sunshine State Standards

Language Arts - Adopted March 2014

The Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) include the English Language Arts standards in grades K-12 as well as the content-area literacy standards for middle school and high school instruction in the following content areas: history/social studies, science, and technical subjects.
2014 Language Arts Florida Standards

The new online resources are not user friendly and seem to be overly complicated and may leave parents trying to prepare for the new assessments at a disadvantage.

Reading Rainbow Parody

The new Levar Burton Reading Rainbow parody is a very funny take on the power of literacy, and maybe foreshadowing his Kickstarter project to bring back the PBS series Reading Rainbow as a for profit corporation. Reading Rainbow Kickstarter by LeVar Burton & Reading Rainbow

Bring Reading Rainbow Back for Every Child, Everywhere. The new Reading Rainbow Tagline sounds good but this is a for profit corporation not PBS, you need to pay for the service and that is just wrong?

This new video maybe poignant in this push to bring back a for profit Reading Rainbow!

Finnish Early Childhood Education

The Finnish Model should be the World Standard in Educating Children!

Supporting children and Early Childhood Education is one of the many secrets of Finlands exemplary

academic results and advanced ability levels on the PSSA exams. Children are cherished by the society, and the dedication to Early Childhood Education is unsurpassed with the highest teaching standards in the world.
The ability of all parents to send their children to highly enriching Pre-Kindergarten programs at the age of 3 with no cost, this helps level any economic disparity. Kindergarten starts at the age of 6-7 with socialized sentient beings that are articulate and have amazing thinking skills. The curious kinder's that I had the privilege of meeting daily traversing the city of Uppsala on their explorastions and tours were ambassadors for Scandinavian Early Childhood Education.

Finnish National Board of Education National Core Curriculum for Pre-primary Education

2010 The Finnish Common Core

Sweden and Finland are worlds apart in attitudes and governmental rolls in creating a equitable foundation for children. Scandinavians spend tens of thousands on children before they even get to "1st grade". Scandinavia provides world class prenatal medical care, financial assistance for parents, and amazing free Early Childhood Education programs. Pre-Kindergarten starts at age 3. School for most Scandinavians is 13 years not including three years of kindergarten. Reports cards in Sweden contain complete standards, objectives, and goals that students work on, or must be mastered by the end of the level. The progress report travels with the child, ensuring the next teacher or school has a very clear picture of the skills that child comes to class with. Parents, students, and teachers know exactly what the learning outcomes are with clear exemplars. All expectations are explicitly defined, ensuring students will meet the standards. Students not meeting the standard retake the levels and work till they pass those levels. Students work on mastery of skills even in primary.They never fail because they know, "you keep working diligently, you will meet your goal". Students, parents, and teachers are equal partners in the learning outcomes! Students that fall behind attend extra lesson after school or on Saturday.

Support of parents as provided by EU governments is unthinkable to many in the US: As a mother/father in Germany you get 6 weeks maternity leave before the birth, and 8 weeks after the birth with full pay. Politicians have started a new program to increase the birth rates in Germany that are the lowest in Europe (Jan 2007). The parent (Mother or Father) who is the primary care giver that stays at home gets 67% of their income for the first 12 months. Parents also receive financial support for each child until he/she is 25 or until he/she has finished their vocational training. The government aid is 154 Euros per month for the first two children and the amount increases with every child.
