Kalamazoo RESA will host the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) for a K-12 Social Studies Standards Listen & Learn meeting on Tuesday, April 30, 6-8 p.m.

Led by MDE Social Studies Consultant Jim Cameron, the meeting will work to update committees for grades K-8 and 9-12 with representatives from the Michigan Council for Civil Education, Michigan Council for Economic Education, Michigan Geographic Alliance, the Michigan Council for History Education and the Michigan Council for the Social Studies, reviewed and edited Michigan’s social studies standards.  The original Social Studies Standards writers have been joined by teachers, administrators, college professors, community members, parents and students to update the standards with an eye toward assuring that the standards are fewer, clearer, and higher.
