What are the Sunshine State Standards (SSS) designed to identify?

  1. What students should learn in physical education

  2. What public school students should know and be able to do

  3. Graduation requirements for high school students

  4. State funding for public schools

The correct answer is: What public school students should know and be able to do

The Sunshine State Standards (SSS) are crafted to establish a clear framework that defines what public school students in Florida should know and be able to do at each grade level across various subjects. This comprehensive set of standards serves as a guideline for curriculum development, instructional strategies, and assessment practices, ensuring that all students are provided with a consistent and high-quality educational experience. By identifying specific learning goals, the SSS fosters accountability and helps educators focus on essential content and skills necessary for student success. This alignment supports a systematic approach to teaching and learning, allowing for progress tracking and aiding in the overall improvement of educational outcomes across the state. In contrast, other options pertain to more specific aspects of education, such as physical education criteria, graduation prerequisites, or fiscal management of educational resources. Each of these has a distinct purpose and does not encompass the broad educational goals outlined by the Sunshine State Standards.
