The Social Studies Alignment Project provides information about the scope and meaning of the social studies content expectations and indicates how they will be assessed at each grade level.  The resource identifies each content expectation with either a C  : assessed at classroom and district levels or an S: assessed at classroom, district, and state levels; and may be assessed on the MEAP or the Michigan Merit Exam (MME).   Additionally, this resource provides information about the scope of the standard as defined by the content expectations at each grade level. It also provides a focus question and accompanying short narrative that further define the scope of each content expectation.

Teachers and content experts developed the Social Studies Alignment documents. They were aided by input from committees organized by the Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability.  Additional information regarding state assessment of the content expectations (MEAP and MME) will be available in Fall 2009.
