Description

Standards of Learning; growth model for student academic achievement. Requires the Board of Education to develop and implement a growth model to assess and measure individual academic performance and achievement from grade to grade. The Board must ensure that the growth model emphasizes instruction and the students' mastery of curriculum content, ensures proficiency in core Standards of Learning subjects, is consistent with the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, and provides flexibility in allowing school divisions to select evaluation and testing instruments to measure student academic performance and achievement, including for state assessment programs.   View Full Text »

I suggest that anybody seriously interested in the Virginia education process look into the SOQ (Standards of Quality) funding process. That process is broken. For an excellent summary of that process, please see Jim Bacon's article:
