Social Studies

 Middle School and High School Teachers – Check out these learning opportunities:

• Islam in the Social Studies Standards : Understanding world religions and their  influence on world history is an integral part of the Social Studies content expectations for middle and high school.  Join us for a day of examining how to make connections across time by examining key moments in Islam as outlined in the Michigan content expectations.
  
  
• Integrating World History and Geography : The content expectations integrate geography and history and we must help students do this as well.  The Michigan Geographic Alliance is a leader at making this powerful and fun.
