The Virginia Board of Education is expected to take a final vote on the new standards for teaching social studies and history in early 2023.
The 2022 History and Social Science Standards of Learning, known as SOLs, help shape how teachers teach, as well as what subjects they emphasize, although individual school districts have wide latitude to determine their curriculums. The standards are undergoing revision as part of a routine process that must happen every seven years, per Virginia law — but this year’s alterations hit a snag when the state board opted in August to postpone the revision process by at least a month.
Few disputed the timeline Brown offered, although some board members seemed skeptical that 100 was a large enough number of people to include in the roundtables. Brown said adding more people would make the events unmanageable.The current version of the revised standards suggest a host of changes to course content, structure, themes and concepts — in one example requiring that students draw more connections to their local area and history.
Later in the meeting, Gecker — an appointee of former governor Terry McAuliffe — reminded the board that the revisions must take place every seven years by law. Board Vice President Tammy Mann, an appointee of former governor Ralph Northam , said she worries the extra public comment sessions constitute “an overabundance of opportunity to really hear from people.”
