Description
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which
selected Florida Secondary School Principals, Minority Educators and
Community Leaders, and Members of the Legislative Education Committees,
agree on what should constitute minimum basic and functional skills
required for secondary school graduation.
Questions to be answered and explored in this study were:
1. What minimum basic and functional skills should constitute
the graduation requirement for all students graduating from
public secondary schools?
2. Does or should the curriculum of the public secondary school
provide for the transference of basic skills in mathematics
and language to their practical application as a functional
skill? 3. What readability level should be required of all students
graduating from public secondary schools?
4. Are there or should there be remediation programs included
in the curriculum of public secondary schools for those
students who have been unable to achieve satisfactory progress?
5. How are or should existing or proposed basic skills and
functional skills instructional programs be evaluated?
6. Are current Florida Secondary School Graduation Standards
as outlined in Section 232.245 of the Florida Statute, titled
"Pupil Progression," adequate?
