Agenda Item Summary:
|
|
The 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning were approved by the Virginia Board of Education on August 31, 2023. The foundation of the new standards are rooted in the Virginia Math Process Goals. The 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning represent "best in class" standards and comprise the mathematics content that teachers in Virginia are expected to teach and students are expected to learn. The 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning will be fully implemented during the 2024-2025 school year. |

Background:
|
On August 31, 2023 the 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) were approved by the Virginia Board of Education. The implementation timeline was moved up a year and full implementation of the standards will now be during the 2024-2025 school year instead of the originally proposed 2025-2026 school year. The 2023 Math SOLs will be assessed in the spring of 2025 for all SOL tested courses. The mathematics standards foster the application of the five mathematical process goals including reasoning, communication, problem solving, connections, and representation, and set students up to recognize and see mathematics in real-world applications.
To support the implementation of the more rigorous math standards, the VDOE will be developing resources and providing professional learning. ACPS will revise the ACPS curriculum and resources to align with the 2023 Math SOLs. Professional development will be provided for school leaders and educators throughout the 2023-2024 school year and beyond. |
