Note from the Virginia Department of Education: Teaching Mathematics During the 2017-2018 Crosswalk Year Tina Mazzacane

During the 2017-2018 school year, Virginia mathematics teachers will include the 2009 and 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning in both the written and taught curricula. This is known as a “crosswalk” year and requires curricula to blend two sets of standards, leading to full implementa- tion of the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learn- ing in 2018-2019. The chart below summarizes the instructional and assessment implications for im- plementation of the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning: 2017-2018 School Year – Crosswalk Year  2009 Mathematics Standards of Learning and 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning are included in the written and taught curricula.  Fall 2017 Standards of Learning Assessments measure the 2009 Mathematics Standards of Learning, but will not include field test items measuring the 2016 Mathe- matics Standards of Learning.  Spring 2018 Standards of Learning assessments meas- ure the 2009 Mathematics Standards of Learning and will include field test items measuring the 2016 Mathe- matics Standards of Learning . 2018-2019 School Year – Full-Implementation Year  Written and taught curricula reflect the 2016 Mathemat- ics Standards of Learning .  Fall 2018 End-of-Course (Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra 2) and Spring 2019 (Grades 3-8 and EOC) Standards of Learning assessments measure the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning . The Virginia Department of Education provides several resources to assist teachers as they navigate the crosswalk year. The following re- sources are currently available on the 2016 Mathe- matics Standards of Learning (SOL) and Testing webpage:  2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning  2016 Mathematics Standards Curriculum Frameworks

 2009 to 2016 Crosswalk (summary of revi- sions) documents  2016 Mathematics SOL Video Playlist (Overview, Vertical Progression & Support, Implementation and Resources)  Narrated Crosswalk Presentations Teachers may also find resources from the 2017 Mathematics SOL Institutes useful in plan- ning instruction during the Crosswalk Year. The Virginia Department of Education is currently working to revise the following resources and anticipates posting updated electronic versions on the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) and Testing webpage in 2018 as the work is finalized:  Updated and New Lesson Plans (Enhanced Scope and Sequence Lessons)  Updated Vocabulary Word Wall Cards  Virginia Board of Education Textbook Approv- al List  Instructional Video Resources for Teachers Educators with questions about the implementation of the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning should email mathematics@doe.virginia.gov.
