STAR Pilot
Florida's STAR pilot includes eleven sites in the following counties: Bay, Broward, Collier, Department of Corrections, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Polk. STAR pilot sites were selected through an open request for statements of interest. All interested counties that met the application deadline where included in the pilot. The vision of the STAR Initiative for the state of Florida is to provide adult students the opportunities to become confident and proficient readers; provide teachers with teaching strategies to meet the students' goals, and; increase the number of student performances reported.
