Access means that all students must have the opportunity to participate in the general education curriculum.  

The “general curriculum” is an overall plan for instruction that is adopted by a school system or state, which identifies expectations (goals and benchmarks) for learners to achieve at different grade levels. In Florida, the general education curriculum is the Sunshine State Standards (SSS).  The SSS are statewide academic standards representing knowledge and skills that students will need in order to be successful in the world of work or in post secondary education.
