Hey folks. I got back from Richmond after reviewing the q's from the WHI SOL. Here's what we found: About 3 or 4 dozen q's eliminated. About 100 or so q's sent back for revision. About 600 q's approved.

I urge you to apply in the fall to sit on one of the committees for next summer. It is a great experience and you WILL get insight and a new appreciation for the test.

Bulldog!
Heather Do you have any insight into the style or type of questions being asked? I am a struggling Social Studies teacher for WHI and WHII. I have had scores in the mid-90s since I started teaching and after last year, I simply don't know what to do or if the new questions I am writing ar effective. Thanks!

Bulldog Not really allowed to state the questions, but I can say that you would be wise to focus on graphics (charts, diagrams, tables, etc) and that you should look at essential knowledge q's in the SOL Curr Framework. Don't worry about the scores from last year - it was a bloodbath for everyone.

Bulldog!
