Prince William County Public Schools K-12 Language Arts Curriculum June 2011

The Prince William County Public Schools June 2011, Language Arts Curriculum is the 2010 Virginia English Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework. In grades 4-12, the Curriculum Framework is organized by the strands of Communication, Reading, Writing, and Research. In grades K-3, the Communication strand is called Oral Language; Research is embedded in the Reading and Writing strands.   
 
The Curriculum includes each standard followed by three columns: Understanding the Standard; Essential Understandings; and Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes. The Understanding the Standard column clarifies the intent of each standard. The Essential Understandings column broadly states what students are expected to learn in each standard. The Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes columnprovides specific expectations for students to meet as they work to achieve each standard.
 
The following significant changes have occurred in the Prince William County Language Arts Curriculum based on the 2010 Virginia English Standards:
  • greater clarity, specificity, and rigor
  • alignment of skills and content K-12
  • media literacy content in the Communication strand
  • vocabulary standards at high school
  • skills in the ethical gathering and use of information
