Michigan's Social Studies Standards
Professional Learning
Professional Partnerships
Teaching Resources
Michigan's newly adopted social studies standards. In the coming months a variety of supporting documents will be made available to help as districts begin successfully implementing the standards.
We've partnered with Intermediate School Districts, content organizations, universities and others to bring the best in professional learning from all areas of the state to wherever you might be.
Existing projects that have already begun the process of creating and aligning resources to the new social studies standards. Check in on these projects and learn more by clicking below.
Educators from across Michigan have been working since 2013 to revise the Michigan Social Studies Standards. The result of over five years worth of Michigan based work is before you now.
Grade band PDFs are provided for educators looking to implement the standards across a specific grade band. All materials also contain the full introduction to the standards themselves, as well as each grade band opening.
Individual grade and course level documents are provided for educators looking to implement the standards in their specific grade level. All materials also contain the full introduction to the standards themselves as well as each grade band opening.
