The Virginia Department of Education considers the reading and mathematics performance of students in three “proficiency gap groups” comprising students who historically have had difficulty meeting the state’s achievement standards. The student subgroups are used to identify Focus schools under Virginia’s 2012 flexibility waiver. The information contained in the following power point presentations and quick reference guides is helpful in identifying potential instructional and learning challenges when working with students belonging to these groups.
