Angela Dean Oak Grove Karen Ratcliff Bonsack Roanoke County Public Schools Administration Dr. Lorraine Lange Superintendent Dr. Cecil Snead Director of Secondary Instruction, Technology, Adult Education, CTE Rebecca Eastwood Director of Elementary Instruction and Technology Amy Cummings Coordinator of Social Studies and Media Services Preface In 1995 the Virginia Board of Education published Standards of Learning in history and social science for kindergarten through grade twelve. In 2000 the Board of Education was directed by the General Assembly to establish a system of periodic review and revision of the Standards of Learning. In accordance with that legislation the Board of Education appointed a task force to review and revise the History and Social Science Standards of Learning in June 2000. This process resulted in the release of the 2001 Curriculum Framework, which defines the essential understandings, knowledge, and skills that are measured by the Standards of Learning tests. On July 17, 2008 the Board of Education passed the current 2008 standards. This curriculum guide was edited during the summer of 2010 to assist teachers in implementing the standards put forth by the state board under the 2008 Curriculum Framework to be fully implemented in 2010-2011.
