VA EOC SOL Resource Guide
Instructions for SOL Study Guide - Read me FIRST!
In a continuing effort to help school divisions align and develop curricula closely correlated to the 1995 Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools, the Department of Education worked with committees of Virginia educators to develop teacher resource guides for Mathematics, Science, English, and History and Social Sciences. The resource guides delineate essential knowledge, skills, and processes required by the Standards of Learning. The first of the four resource guides, History and Social Science Standards of Learning Teacher Resource Guide, was provided to school divisions in 1998-1999. The three most recent guides, Mathematics Standards of Learning Teacher Resource Guide, Science Standards of Learning Teacher Resource Guide, and English Standards of Learning Teacher Resource Guide, were developed during the 1999-2000 school year and were distributed to school divisions in hard copy format in mid June 2000.
We anticipate that school divisions will use these guides as resources for developing sound curricular and instructional programs. The guides should not limit the scope of instructional programs. Additional knowledge and skills that can enrich instruction and enhance students’ understanding of the content identified in the Standards of Learning should be included as part of quality learning experiences.
Copies of the guides are available in both PDF and Microsoft Word formats. These materials are copyrighted, and all rights are reserved. Reproduction of these materials for instructional purposes in Virginia classrooms is permitted.
