Excerpts from article:
...Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the creation of new academic standards on Friday, a year after he directed the state to root out all "Vestiges of Common Core" and change the way Florida's students learn.
...Common Core refers to a set of standards first proposed by the National Governors Association that became the foundation for Florida's existing standards.
...The new standards will be called the BEST Standards, which stands for the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking.
...Although the standards themselves were not made publicly available on Friday - DeSantis promised they would be online in a week - the Florida Department of Education released summary documents that outline some of the major changes ahead.One of the documents was the final recommendation by Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran to DeSantis, something the department had previously declined to make public.
...Overall, the new standards include less testing, DeSantis said.
