Virginia Department of Education

VirginiaIsForLearners.virginia.gov keeps parents, educators and all Virginians informed about and involved in changes to Virginia’s public education system that produce better-prepared students, a stronger workforce and a healthier economy in every corner of the state.

Quality early learning experiences are an essential element to preparing children to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. VDOE fully supports inclusion of young children and early childhood programs. Watch Early Childhood Inclusion in Augusta County and visit Early Childhood to learn more.

The goal of literacy instruction in Virginia is to ensure that all children have the necessary skills to become successful readers, writers, speakers, and listeners with the critical thinking skills that are required to be successful as they progress and transition through the stages of their lives. Visit English Standards of Learning for resources to support literacy instruction.
