K-12 History and Social Science Standards of Learning Institutes (Virginia Department of Education, VDOE)
Description:
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is pleased to announce the K-12 History and Social Science Standards of Learning (SOL) Institutes to be held in August and October 2017 at four sites throughout the Commonwealth. These are professional development opportunities provided by the state to support the implementation of 2015 History and Social Science Standards of Learning.
The K-12 History and Social Science SOL Institutes will utilize a train-the-trainer model to provide professional development focused on the 2015 History and Social Science Standards of Learning, which will lead to the creation of performance assessments.
Registration:
The Office of Continuing and Professional Education at Virginia Tech will manage registration. Each division superintendent or designee should identify a division-level contact who will identify and register a team from the division among: (1) History and Social Science supervisor (or contact), (1) elementary teacher, (1) middle school teacher, (1) high school teacher, and (2) Special Education teachers. Confirmation of the registration will be emailed to the participant. Participants may use the following link to register online. The registration link will be published on the VDOE website for all. In an effort to reduce paper, program materials for the History and Social Science SOL Institutes will be on a flash drive. Participants may bring their own devices to review documents on the flash drive.
