Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS)

•
•
•
Developed by committees of practicing classroom teachers and curriculum
specialists and adopted by the State Board of Education, the New Generation
Florida Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) are broad statements of what students
should know and be able to do.
Teaching the New Generation Sunshine State standards is an important aspect of
educational accountability.
The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test® (FCAT), the foundation of statewide
educational assessment and accountability, measures NGSSS benchmarks in
reading, writing, mathematics, and science.
High-quality, standards-focused instruction provides students the knowledge and
skills needed to be successful on FCAT.
