    • Dear APS Leaders, APS educators will use the current APS evaluation practices for the 2021-2022 school year, with no changes in standards or processes. In the Spring of 2021, the VA General Assembly approved legislation that will require that educators document their ability to demonstrate culturally responsive and equitable practices as a part of the evaluation process. VDOE is currently working to develop new training that will be available in 2022.

SCIENCE            (Rachael Fine)
SOCIAL STUDIES  (Kristen Wolla)

Hello Everyone!

At the social studies lead teacher meeting on August 25th, the department shared that grade levels K-5 will be doing multiple PBAs (performance based assessments) this school year. The department is still developing the PBAs for teachers along with memos and other documents to be used for them. I will share information and resources as soon as they are ready. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at Kristen.Wolla@apsva.us.

Below is a link to a copy of the Google Slides the department showed during the social studies rotations on the morning of August 25th.
