J South,
SOLs is the accronym for the Virginia educational objectives entitled the
Standards of Learning. They have been around for some 10-15 years, and are
now a required curriculum of study for all Virginia students since the
imposition of the SOL tests at the end of courses of study about 5 +/- years
ago. The tests were coming in when I was retiring, so I'm not sure of the
exact years. I used the SOLs to write IEPs most of the years that I was a
special ed teacher from 1981 until 1995.
