• Florida Standards for Technical Subjects
•  
• Florida Standards (FS) for English Language Arts
  and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science,
  and Technical Subjects are the critical reading
  and writing literacy standards designed for grade
  6 and above. These standards are predicated on
  teachers of history/social studies, science, and
  technical subjects using their content area
  expertise to help students meet the particular
  challenges of reading, writing, speaking,
  listening, and language in their respective
  fields. It is important to note that the 6-12
  literacy standards in history/social studies,
  science, and technical subjects are not meant to
  replace content standards in those areas but
  rather to supplement them.

 Standard A statement describing a specific
behavior, action, or competency a student should
be able to demonstrate based on the underlying
instruction. Standards were previously referred
to in frameworks as outcomes and were supported
by student performance standards (SPSs). This
redefinition will ensure that any reference to
the term standards is uniform (see example
below). Benchmark A clear, specific
description of knowledge or skill (competency)
that students should acquire in order to
demonstrate achievement of the related standard.
These were previously referred to as student
performance standards (SPSs). This redefinition
will ensure that any reference to the term
benchmark is uniform (see example
below). Example Standard 1First benchmark

I Am An Agriculture Teacher!!

• Why do I have to worry about academics?
• Students success is everyones responsibility!
• Integration of academics is important to better
  prepare students technically and academically for
  success in their postsecondary education and
  future careers.

Research shows

• When academic and CTE content is presented in an
  integrated model, students are able to identify
  the real-world applicability of academic
  concepts. The contextualized learning that occurs
  through integration makes the connection between
  the academic content and the CTE content more
  explicit for students. Thus, their questions
  regarding Why do I need to know this? "or When
  will I use this? "are answered.
