The Virginia Geographic Alliance has produced a series of layered pdf maps to support the development of geographic concepts in the World History and Geography to 1500 C.E. course. As soon as the final draft of the Virginia Department of Education’s Curriculum Framework is published the Standards of Learning Numbers will be updated.
Access the world history portion of the Virginia Geographic Alliance Web site here. While on the site check out other links to opportunities for professional development and resources for teachers. Check out the presentation for the VDOE Train the Trainer, June 2016.
