Standards of Learning (SOL)

Standards of Learning (SOL) are specific educational goals set by schools or states to define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level in subjects like math, reading, science, and history. They serve as a guideline for curriculum development, teaching, and assessments, ensuring consistency and quality across schools. The SOL help educators focus on essential skills, and students take standardized tests to measure their understanding and progress according to these standards. Ultimately, SOL aim to prepare students for further education, careers, and responsible citizenship.
