				Student Performance Standards in Florida are defined as state academic
				standards and establish the core content of the curricula to be taught and
				specify the core content knowledge and skills that K-12 public school students
				are expected to acquire. The state academic standards are rigorous and reflect
				the knowledge and skills students need for success in college and careers. The
				standards and benchmarks describe what students should know and be able to do
				at grade level progression for kindergarten to grade 8 and in grade bands for
				grade levels 9-12. The access points contained in the state academic standards
				provide access to the general education curriculum for students with
				significant cognitive disabilities. These standards, benchmarks, and access
				points are contained in the following publications which are hereby
				incorporated by reference and made a part of this rule.
