MEET THE DEMANDS OF

VIRGINIA’S STANDARDS OF LEARNING

Real-world performance tasks are well suited to meeting the educational goals of Virginia’s Standards of Learning and Profile of a Graduate. They enhance instruction by fostering student DEVELOPMENT OF THE 5 C’S and providing opportunities for students to APPLY CONTENT and skills and DEMONSTRATE MASTERY — the essence of the Standards.
