USERS GUIDE FOR ALL USERS: A coding system is used in all curriculum guides to identify Sunshine State Standard Benchmarks and course Content Statements. Benchmarks: For easy reference, each strand, standard, and benchmark has been assigned a unique identification code. For example: LA.A.1.1.1 Subject AreaStrand Standard Level Benchmark The first two letters of the code identify the subject area (e.g., LA for language arts). The third letter identifies the strand. The number in the fourth position identifies the general standard under the strand. The number in the fifth position identifies the developmental level (1=PreK-2, 2=grades 3-5, 3=grades 6-8, 4=grades 9-12). The last number identifies the benchmark under the grade cluster within the standard. Content Statements: A. The first three letters from left to right will be the course s Volusia County three-letter code group. The fourth letter will be an X as default. B. The first three numbers from left to right will uniquely identify the content statement within the course. The last place will be an X as default. Example for Eastern and Western Heritage -- NNF NNFX005X Volusia County s Course Code For future use, default is X. Content Statement # Original edition guides will use an X. First revisions will use A, second editions will use B, etc. Note that the fourth place is used for district default purposes. Original curriculum guides will end with X, which will be replaced by A, B, etc., as we add revisions. Only district-assigned letters may be used in the default locations.
