The Virginia Board of Education will hold public hearings on the Proposed Revised 2023 History and Social Science Standards of Learning. The Standards of Learning identify the essential content, processes, and skills for grade levels and subject courses. The proposed 2023 History and Social Science Standards of Learning can be accessed on the Virginia Department of Education’s website. Public comment regarding the proposed revised 2023 History and Social Science Standards of Learning may be offered through public hearings or public comment through the Virginia Department of Education website until March 21, 2023.

VEA can bring this content to you/your school or division and offer it as a 3-hour or a 5-hour workshop.  Participants will walk away with a better understanding of how trauma affects the brain of our students as well as learn a few tips on how to better support students in our care.  To request this workshop, complete this LINK.  If this information needs to be completed by someone else (local Education Association leader, administrator, Central Office, etc.), feel free to forward this information to them.  If you should have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Amber Brown, Teaching and Learning Specialist, at abrown@veanea.org.
