VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ANNOUNCES REVIEW OF MATHEMATICS STANDARDS OF LEARNING AND CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK
An important part of the review process for the Mathematics Standards of Learning and Mathematics Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework is the solicitation of comments from teachers, administrators, curriculum supervisors, mathematics educators, mathematics education organizations, and other members of the public. Comments should focus on recommended additions, deletions, or the movement of content within the current standards and curriculum framework. Public comment will be received from March 27, 2015 to April 27, 2015 at mathematics@doe.virginia.gov.
The VDOE is also seeking individuals who are qualified and available to serve on a committee to review both the Mathematics Standards of Learning and Mathematics Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework June 22-26, 2015 in Richmond. A Steering Committee, selected from the full review committee, will convene on June 1-3, 2015 in Richmond. Applicants must be teachers, principals, administrators, content specialists, or others who have expertise with the content areas and the standards.
Individuals who wish to serve on a committee to review the Mathematics Standards of Learning and Mathematics Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework must submit an application through the Web-based process, Instruction Committee Application Processing System (ICAPS). The application will require a professional reference and division approval. Completed applications are due to the VDOE through ICAPS by April 27, 2015. Committee members selected on the basis of expertise, experience, and regional representation will be notified by May 6, 2015.
