VLA Review of Grades K-5 Intervention Programs

The VLP Curriculum Review team maintains a partnership with the Virginia Department of Education. The VDOE sets the timeline for review cycles. The timeline for future reviews has not been determined. If interested in applying for the next cycle of review, please complete the Application Interest Form to the right.

Intervention applications will be submitted online. Submission of materials either in hard copy or via email will not be accepted. Providers must request an account under the For Providers section to the right. Once the account is approved and the application window is open, providers can log in to begin an application. All components of the application are required, including program information, completed rubric submission, instructional materials, login credentials, and other documents.

Rubric submissions must include all indicator responses to the required Design and Usability components. After these mandatory sections are complete, providers should complete indicator responses and submit materials for all instructional areas (e.g., phonics, comprehension, vocabulary) relevant to the program. Note that any application missing Design and Usability and/or at least one complete instructional component with materials, will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.

For more detail on the instructional program review process and timeline, please view the Full Process Document linked below. If you have any questions, please email us at: [email protected].
