Florida launches B.E.S.T. science standards listening tour

Listening tour launched

The Florida Department of Education has launched a listening tour focused on the state’s B.E.S.T. science standards.

The tour is a public listening process centered on the science standards. The department’s action begins that process and puts the standards at the center of the discussion.

What the tour concerns

B.E.S.T. science standards are the subject of the tour. The Florida Department of Education is the state agency leading the effort.

The launch does not by itself change the standards. It starts a process for listening to comments about them.

What to follow

The next developments will include details about how the listening tour will operate, including any scheduled meetings, opportunities for public participation and information released by the Florida Department of Education.

Alachua Chronicle reported the launch under the headline “Florida Department of Education launches B.E.S.T. science standards listening tour.”
