Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching  2011 awards will honor math and science teachers working in grades 7-12  Nominations due April 1, 2011  Applications due May 2, 2011  Supt.’s Memo # Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics & Science Teaching (PAEMST) ProgramPresidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics & Science Teaching (PAEMST) Program 4

New SOL Assessments “Revised” versus “new” Increased rigor Technology enhanced items Higher-level questions 5

Blueprints and Curriculum Blueprints are currently available on the VDOE website to accommodate curriculum development and instructional planning, but will not become effective until the school year School divisions should be teaching the new content from the 2009 SOL in the school year since there will be FT items in spring 2011 on the new content - 6 -

Look for changes in: Number of reporting categories Number of items in reporting categories Asterisks denoting SOL that will be assessed in the non- calculator section for grades SOL that will not be tested 7 N EW SOL B LUEPRINTS

Formula Sheets Formula sheets that correspond to the 2009 Standards for grades 6-8 and EOC are currently available on the VDOE Ancillary Test Materials webpage ation/ancilliary_materials/ /index.shtml - 9 -

Practice Opportunities for Students Approximately ten practice questions will be provided via an ePAT for each mathematics test, Grades 3-8 and EOC ePATs will include items that address increased rigor for existing SOL, items that address new SOL, and technology enhanced items Available by February,
