Curriculum and Instruction Inventory• Division curricula • Pacing/Sequencing guides• Instructional schedule and planning times• Assessment
– Formative– Use of data
• Professional development

Content Specific Inventory Questions• Balance between developing conceptual
understandings and the connected procedural understandings
• Mathematical communication (oral and written) supporting process goals for students
• Multiple representations

Look for changes in:
• Number of reporting categories
• Number of items in reporting categories
• Indication of SOL assessed without a calculator (grades 4, 5, 6 and 7)
8
New SOL Blueprints

Formula Sheets• Formula sheets that correspond to the 2009
Standards for grades 6-8 and EOC are currently available on the VDOE2011-2012 Ancillary Test Materials webpage
Formula sheets

Testing changes - technical• Use of color• Emphasis words
– No longer in italics• Closest • Equal• Best
– NOT and EXCEPT
12
13
Technology Enhanced Items (TEI) about 15%
Format of Questions:• Fill in the blank• Drag and drop• Hot-spots: Select one or more answer
options, placing points on coordinate planes• Creation of graphs
Practice SOL Items
New tools in TestNav 7.5• Pencil• Notepad (sticks w/ item)• Dot tool• New compass• Straight edge tool
– Line with no caps– Line segments (with caps)
14
Practice SOL Items• It is essential that students have experiences with the
Practice SOL Items prior to testing.• Use of the Practice Item Guides is STRONGLY
recommended.• Practice Item Guides provide help with
– Installation and navigation help– Practice with use of tools– Information specific to particular tests
• Practice SOL Items will be updated to include additional items
