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

6. 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 2011-2012 school year School divisions should be teaching the new content from the 2009 SOL in the 2010-2011 school year since there will be FT items in spring 2011 on the new content - 6 -

7. 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 4 - 7 SOL that will not be tested 7 N EW SOL B LUEPRINTS
