Middle 7B English

Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards for ELA are built on the following premises:

1. English Language Arts is not a discrete set of skills, but a rich discipline with meaningful, significant content, the knowledge of which helps all students actively and fully participate in our society.
2.The standards are clear and concise so they are easily understood by every stakeholder.
3. The texts students read are meaningful and thought-provoking, preparing them to be informed, civic-minded members of their community.
4.Standards should not stand alone as a separate focus for instruction, but should be combined purposefully.
