Hello Everyone-
I hope you are all staying warm on these blustery days.
We now have the Social Studies standards and benchmarks loaded into the Ladders Database and Curriculum Manager.
Everyone has access to the ladders. The link is https://ladders.misicia.org. When prompted for a username it is misic and the password is together.
If you are a Curriculum Manager user, Social Studies will now show up when you "Add MISIC Benchmarks" to your units.
Let me know if you have any questions and have a great day!

Social Studies S&B
Hello Everyone-
I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and are getting back in the swing of things this week.
We now have the K-12 Social Studies standards and benchmarks completed with alignment to the Iowa Core. They are posted on the Member Documents page of the MISIC website (misic.iowapages.org). When prompted for an email, type in misic and the password is together.
There are three new documents for each grade span. One is by MISIC benchmark with descriptors, essential questions, vocabulary & ICC alignment, another lists the ICC and shows which MISIC benchmarks align and the third is a quick view of just the MISIC Standards and Benchmarks.
We will also get them formatted and loaded into the ladders and Curriculum Manager as soon as possible.
Have a great day!
