Extractions: [Print Friendly Version] Many of our returning Foreign Service students who are enrolled in American public schools are learning that the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, required in Virginia, or other state-mandated achievement tests, are given much importance by the local school systems. This paper addresses the Virginia Standards of Learning. At the time of this writing, Maryland is revising their state assessment program. Students going to other states or jurisdictions need to check with their local education professionals Virginia Standards of Learning Standards of Learning (SOL) is a way for the Virginia Department of Education to outline the goals and objectives of the curriculum taught at each grade level in each subject. How these goals and objectives are met is measured by student performance on the state-mandated Standards of Learning tests. In addition to the SOLs, each county has the ability to add another layer of curriculum objectives over the state mandated SOLs. Northern Virginia school districts, which pride themselves on rigorous academic standards, do augment the state SOLs with an additional layer of their own county curriculums in order to "exceed state standards." Instruction and learning outcomes are measured quarterly in some counties by standardized testing in each subject and grade level, in addition to the annual state SOLs. A Parents Guide to Virginia Standards of Learning Program is a helpful resource.

The Value Of Learning Can the standards of learning tests and the preparation teach and what students learn and how they learn. it could apply to the concept of teaching and testing http://radicalacademy.com/gejohnboleyn4.htm
Extractions: Baby Superstore The Value of Learning by John Boleyn I understand why Gov. James Gilmore has instituted Standards of Learning tests for students in Virginia. In an era of ever declining academic performance, there is the need to see their performance levels increased. And as the chief executive of the commonwealth, he has the responsibility to ensure that this problem is addressed. But what if the problem is much larger than the solution of the SOLs? Does our education establishment know how the skills of learning are developed in the first place? Obviously, this is not a problem which can be solved entirely by Gov. Gilmore or by any Governor whether they are a Democrat or Republican. Can the Standards of Learning tests and the preparation for these tests empower our kids to learn? The way in which we test or examine students and the way in which we grade them determines what teachers teach and how they teach and what students learn and how they learn.
Teacherpage of learning ((sols)). During fifth grade, students participate in Virginia state assessments, standards of learning tests. The fifth grade teachers are committed http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/WoodlawnES/fifth/solspage.htm
Extractions: During fifth grade, students participate in Virginia state assessments, Standards of Learning tests. The fifth grade teachers are committed to preparing students for this significant test. Fifth graders have SOL test prepping sessions once a week that teach students strategies for taking a standardized test. There is an after school SOL Remediation class that begins in February for students to receive extra reinforcement of their everyday skills. The fifth grade teachers are also available after school two days a week for students that are having difficuty in a subject area. Students complete a state assessment in English through the Direct Writing test given in March. During the month of May, students will complete the SOL tests in English, Reading, Mathematics, Science and Computer Technology. Back to Fifth Grade Page
Extractions: The purpose of this article is to explore the multifaceted and complex issue of standardized assessment and educational accountability and present results of an informal survey designed to explore the opinions of graduate students in a practitioner-based teacher preparation program regarding standards of learning and teacher training. The issues of appropriateness of SOL tests for at-risk learners and teacher feelings of efficacy following training were addressed in this survey. We feel the results yield useful information that will assist classroom teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers in their development of more effective training programs. In response to current teacher shortages, many schools are being forced to place unprepared individuals in classrooms on provisional licenses. Some alternative paths to teacher licensure may be appropriate to meet these challenges, however, not at the expense of professional standards and integrity. Many quick-fix strategies such as the practice of utilizing teachers in subjects areas in which they are not certified do not serve the best interests of students or teachers (Finding Good Teachers, 1999). Consequences of the imposition of these quick-fix strategies include high burnout rate and poor classroom discipline (Berliner, 2000). Most authorities agree there is a need to find a better solution to the teacher shortage than simply filling classrooms with people who are not properly trained to teach.
