SPRING 2000 NEWSLETTERS HOME VIRGINIA CONSIDERS SPECIAL ED PROPOSAL BROUGHT BY IDEAS MOM AND FRIENDS Patti Rubel, parent of a son, Adam, who has idic15, recently sent us this update on her activities with the Virginia State legislature. Congratulations Patti! We made a proposal to our state delegate to have a study done that would look at this issue. We wanted the State to agree to modified testing for kids who follow a modified curriculum (this would include quite a few kids in special ed). That way, they wouldn't have to opt out. They would take tests based on the curriculum they're studying. The teachers would be accountable and the parents would have something to measure their children's progress by. We would also like to see another kind of diploma added to the system to go along with the "Modified SOLs". We hope this would help a great many kids in Special Ed go on to higher learning institutions. Right now an IEP Diploma won't get them anywhere. GO TO NEXT PAGE

Standards of Learning Currently in Effect for Virginia Public Schools 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. In the four core areas of English, mathematics, science, and history/social science, a curriculum framework also is provided that details the specific knowledge and skills students must possess to meet the standards for these subjects. Standards of Learning currently in effect are listed below by subject area with pulldowns by grade level for each subject. Links also are provided for the curriculum frameworks mentioned above.

[Print Friendly Version] Standards of Learning Tests in Virginia and the No Child Left Behind Act 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 Parent’s Guide to Virginia Standards of Learning Program is a helpful resource.

I Earth Science Tips for Taking SOL Test Starting with the 2004 graduating class, students must pass at least six of the 12 high school SOL tests to earn their diploma. A key to preparing for the tests is knowing the SOL requirements the exams are based on as well as seeing samples of last year's test. Virginia Department of Education: http://www.pen.k12.va.us/ Math tips : Read questions carefully to avoid the "attractive option." Underline key words and work the problems Science tips : Go for the "big ideas" or overall concept. The test is process-based on basic scientific skills and knowledge History tips : Know the six aspects of a society or historical period: P-E-R-S-I-A -Political - Economic - Religious - Social - Intellectual - Aesthetic. Students need to know dates, but knowing the concept of what happened is more important. Pay close attention to quotations, cartoons, maps, charts and other artwork because students must be able to evaluate and interpret that information in order to answer questions.

Mehaffey, Ed.D. f rom TTAC Link Lines February/March 2002 It is the intent of the Commonwealth of Virginia to include students with disabilities in the Standards of Learning (SOL) Assessment Program.  School leaders who communicate this message to their staff members clearly are more likely to see higher access rates.  To assist students with disabilities, the Virginia Department of Education provides certain testing accommodations that meet standard and non-standard conditions. Decisions about participation in the testing program and how a student with a disability is assessed should be made independently for each content area.  The IEP Team makes the decisions on the need for and the selection of accommodations for students with disabilities.  This checklist may be used by school division personnel long before the assessment dates arrive. Yes No 1. The IEP Teams are addressing assessment needs.

Resource Links From PEATC Press, Winter 1997 Testing Accommodations and Equal Access By Jean Durgin Testing accommodations will become critically important to Virginia students with disabilities in the year 2004 when, in order to receive a standard or advanced studies diploma, all students must earn prescribed credits and pass a Standards of Learning (SOL) test for each course. This means the child who is now in 6 th grade or younger will have to pass a test of high school level competencies in order to get a regular diploma. With no accommodations With accommodations that maintain standard conditions With accommodations which are permissible but do not maintain standard conditions Exemption from testing Does the student receive instruction in areas covered by the SOL assessments? Does the student typically receive accommodations during instruction or classroom assessments in the content covered by the test? If the answer to each question is YES, the next decision is whether standard or nonstandard accommodations will be provided. Standard Accommodations Some accommodation allows a student to take the test in a different way without changing what the test is measuring. Examples are:
