Topics in Required Instruction (1003.42, F.S.)
The state of Florida authorizes course standards, course descriptions, and topics that must be covered within the articulated system of student progression. Course descriptions provide a topical and curricular overview specific to a course a student may encounter during their progression through the public education system. Course standards outline the student performance expectations associated with particular courses. 1003.42, F.S., adds to these a list of topical curricular ideas that, while not specific to a single particular course, are mandated for inclusion within the general curriculum for all students.
