Coverage at a glance
| Subject area | Standards | Alignments | Topics covered |
|---|---|---|---|

| All subjects | 32 | 148 | 6 |
Standards counts distinct codes. Alignments counts every time a code is cited, so a code taught under two topics counts twice.
Florida CTE Curriculum Frameworks, lesson by lesson
Adding a drone course to a Florida CTE program means showing where it fits within the state's frameworks. This page lays that out: the Rocket Drones classroom drone curriculum mapped to the Florida CTE Curriculum Frameworks for grades 6–12.
Each row ties a lesson or activity to the framework codes it teaches. The mapping runs through the 2026 Intro to Drones course, from drone anatomy and applications to careers in uncrewed systems. It extends to the classroom flight challenges and flight simulator missions that round out a CTE drone program.
Use the coverage table for the overview and the Code Grid for the full picture. Print or save a copy when you need documentation for program approval or funding paperwork.
