4-H Curriculum and Virginia Standards of Learning

Many 4-H lessons and activities address objectives covered in Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL's). The list below gives correlations between 4-H curriculum and individual SOL's. Select a Curriculum Area to obtain a list of specific SOL numbers that correlate to the curriculum area. Select a Lesson Title to obtain a complete description of the SOL's which correlate to that specific lesson. The SOL's are listed here in their entirety, although individual lessons may only meet a few standards or portions of a standard. It is up to the person teaching the lesson to determine what standards or portions of standards they are addressing.

Questions about Virginia SOL's and the 4-H Curriculum can be addressed to Dr. Robert Ray Meadows, Associate Director, 4-H Youth Development, Virginia Cooperative Extension. (540) 231-6371 or bmeadows@vt.edu.
