This resource has been created to provide teachers across the Commonwealth
with differentiated lessons to deliver SOL-based content instruction
to a diverse population of learners, including students with disabilities
and/or limited English proficiency (LEP).
The Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools describe the
commonwealth's expectations for student learning and achievement in
grades K-12 in English, Mathematics, Science, History/Social Science,
Technology, the Fine Arts, Foreign Language, Health and Physical Education,
and Driver Education.
These standards represent a broad consensus of what parents, classroom
teachers, school administrators, academics, and business and community
leaders believe schools should teach and students should learn.
The Virginia Standards of Learning Enhanced Scope and Sequence is
a resource intended to help teachers align their classroom instruction
with the Standards of Learning that were adopted by the Virginia Board
of Education. The Enhanced Scope and Sequence is organized by topics
from the original Scope and Sequence document and includes the content
of the Standards of Learning and the essential knowledge and skills
from the Curriculum Framework. In addition, the Enhanced Scope and
Sequence provides teachers with sample lesson plans that are aligned
with the essential knowledge and skills in the Curriculum Framework.
School divisions and teachers can use this page in order to use the Enhanced
Scope and Sequence as a resource for developing sound curricular and
instructional programs. These materials are intended as examples of how
the knowledge and skills might be presented to students in a sequence
of lessons that has been aligned with the Standards of Learning. Teachers
who use the Enhanced Scope and Sequence should correlate the essential
knowledge and skills with available instructional resources and determine
the pacing of instruction as appropriate. This page is not a complete
curriculum and is neither required nor prescriptive, but it can be a
valuable instructional tool.
