Florida B.E.S.T. Standards


​Dear Sarasota Academy of the Arts Families,

Sarasota Academy of the Arts will embrace The Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards for the 2021-2022 school year. The move from Common Core occurred at the state level on February 12, 2020, when the State Board of Education amended Rule 6A-1.09401, Florida Administrative Code, Student Performance Standards, to adopt the B.E.S.T. Standards for English language arts (ELA) and Mathematics for grades K-12. These new standards are posted along with summary documents at www.fldoe.org/standardsreview 

Sarasota Academy of the Arts will follow the district's 2021-2022 plan to implement the new B.E.S.T. Standards for ELA by purchasing newly aligned textbooks and related technology for  grades K-8.  The following school year, 2022-2023, B.E.S.T. Standards for Math newly aligned textbooks and related technology will be purchased. Timeline and Guiding Information below:

ELA BEST STANDARDS: ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS 
Spring/Summer 2021: Professional Development on B.E.S.T. Standards and Instructional Materials ELA.
2021-2022 Academic School Year: Adoption of New ELA Materials
2021-2022 Academic Year: Classroom Implementation of B.E.S.T. Standards in ALL Grades K-8

MATH BEST STANDARDS

To a great new school year,
Dr. Jodi Kopacz
