English SOL Enhanced Scope and Sequence for Grades K–5 Introduction The English Standards of Learning Enhanced Scope and Sequence is a resource intended to help teachers align their classroom instruction with the content found in English Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools, adopted by the Board of Education in November 2002. The Enhanced Scope and Sequence is organized by the strands established in the English Standards of Learning, and it includes the content of the Standards of Learning and the essential understandings, knowledge, and skills found in the 2003 English Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework. In addition, the Enhanced Scope and Sequence provides teachers with sample lesson plans aligned with the standards and their related essential understandings, knowledge, and skills. School divisions and teachers can use the Enhanced Scope and Sequence as a resource for developing sound curricular and instructional programs. These materials are intended as examples of ways the understandings, knowledge, and skills might be presented to students in sample lessons that have been aligned with the Standards of Learning. Teachers who use the Enhanced Scope and Sequence should correlate available instructional resources with the essential understandings, knowledge, and skills and determine an appropriate pace of instruction. This resource is not a complete curriculum and is neither required nor prescriptive, but it can be a valuable instructional tool.

The Oral Language strand can be divided into Organizing Topics, as shown in the following table. The Phonological Awareness Organizing Topic, though technically a part of the Oral Language strand, is addressed in the Reading strand section of this document. ORAL LANGUAGE STRAND Organizing Kindergarten Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Topic K.2, K.3 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, Oral 1.3 2.3 Communication Phonological K.1, K.4 1.4 Awareness 3.1 4.1 5.1 Discussion 3.2 4.2 5.2, 5.3 Presentation Oral Language is also incorporated throughout the Reading and Writing strands, each of which includes a section with various strategies. Thus a separate strategies section is not included in the Oral Language strand. Virginia Department of Education 2004 2 GRADE-LEVEL INFORMATION by Organizing Topics English SOL Enhanced Scope and Sequence for Grades K–5: ORAL LANGUAGE Strand Organizing Topic → Oral Communication Kindergarten In kindergarten, students engage in a variety of oral activities in order to develop their understanding of language and enhance their ability to communicate effectively. Oral language skills are taught and reinforced throughout the year across all curricular areas. Emphasis is on having the students build and use their listening and speaking vocabularies through participation in oral language activities employing poems, rhymes, songs, and narrative and expository text. This vocabulary development is essential in reading and comprehension skills as students progress in school. Students also learn the rules for conversation and skills for participating in discussions. Daily listening and speaking opportunities, both formal and informal, should be a part of every kindergarten English program. Standard(s) of Learning K.2 The student will use listening and speaking vocabularies. a) Use number words. b) Use words to describe/name people, places, and things. c) Use words to describe location, size, color, and shape. d) Use words to describe actions. e) Ask about words not understood. f) Follow one-step and two-step directions. g) Begin to ask how and why questions.

  • Professional Development for the Early Learning Content Social Studies Standards
    International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education Vol. 2, Issue 2, March, 2010. Professional development for the early learning content social studies standards Laurie KATZ The Ohio State University, United States of America Hatice Zeynep INAN* The Dumlupinar University, Turkey Cynthia TYSON The Ohio State University, United States of America Adrienne DIXSON The Ohio State University, United States of America Hyun-Young KANG The Ohio State University, United States of America Abstract This article describes early childhood educators’ responses to a professional development series aimed at helping them to understand and incorporate early learning standards for social studies. While the primary aim of the professional development was to focus on the social studies content standards, the secondary aim was to introduce early childhood educators to culturally relevant pedagogical strategies that take into account the unique learning needs of diverse children, particularly children of colour, English language learners and children with special needs. The findings suggest that early childhood educators can benefit from sustained professional development that not only addresses content standards but also helps them to understand how to incorporate the standards into their existing curriculum using developmentally and culturally appropriate pedagogy. Keywords: Early Childhood; Social Studies; Standards; Professional Development Introduction Standards of learning for children before they attend kindergarten (ages 2 to 5 years old), typically described as early learning standards, started developing in the 21st century (NAEYC & NAECS/SDE, 2002). The need to design standards separate from children in the early elementary years is * E-mail for correspondence: [email protected] International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education Vol.2, Issue 2, March,2010 based on “research about the processes, sequences, and long-term consequences of early learning and development” (p.5).

    Teachers’ Perspectives on the Standards of Learning School Reform in Virginia Melanie A. Bolt Submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Research and Evaluation April 2003 Blacksburg, Virginia Committee chair: Kusum Singh Committee members: Lawrence Cross, Jim C. Fortune, Jim Garrison, and Sue Magliaro Keywords: high-stakes accountability, testing, standards, classroom effects, curricula, instructional strategies, student learning, teacher professional autonomy, teacher tension, school quality Copyright 2003, Melanie A. Bolt Abstract Teachers’ Perspectives on the SOL School Reform in Virginia Melanie A. Bolt School of Human Sciences and Education Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Dissertation Committee Chairperson: Kusum Singh This study discussed the need for a broader public discourse on high-stakes accountability-based school reform that underscores teachers’ perspectives. Also, the study discussed the need for fuller disclosure of the possible undesirable classroom effects of the reform. To address these needs, this study described teachers’ perspectives on the Standards of Learning (SOL) school reform in Virginia, focusing upon teachers’ views on the reform’s classroom effects. The domains of interest were (1) the adequacy of curriculum and the diversity of teachers’ instructional strategies, (2) the quality of student learning, (3) teachers’ sense of professional autonomy and level of teacher tension, and (4) school quality. The study examined whether there are differences in teachers’ views based on the income level of the school locale where the teachers teach (low-, middle-, or high-income), school type (elementary, middle, or high school), and teachers’ status on whether they teach a SOL-tested subject (yes/no).

Chairman of Thesis ___________________________ Clive McClelland, Ph.D. Committee Member ___________________________ Michelle Goodwin, Ed.D. Committee Member ___________________________ James Nutter, D.A. Honors Program Director __________________________ Date Puzzle Piece 3 Abstract The quality of education in America has not paralleled her vast achievements. In an effort to lessen mediocrity within the educational system, the standards-based education movement has begun to establish levels of information taught at each grade level. This educational reform which attempts to raise the quality of education across the nation has been implemented locally through the Virginia Standards of Learning. The Standards of Learning framework highlights the necessity of proficient communication for the sake of the future ambitions of students. Such an objective has been attained through grammatical instruction of Standard English integrated within the language arts. Although in the midst of such progress, fears are still prevalent that the nation is regressing towards instructional methodologies which have historically stifled America’s educational system. These fears arise from the movement’s reliance on high stakes testing. An examination of these high stakes testing reveals various aspects of teaching towards the test which indirectly emphasize practices regressing back towards rote- memorization.
