[Ferguson, Sarah (DOE)]

Good Afternoon,

At the last SBR meeting, there were questions about where the social studies standards were in the review process.  DOE has issued this information:


As part of the scheduled periodic review of the Maine Learning Results, the Maine Department of Education (DOE) is seeking public comments regarding the current social studies standards<https://www.maine.gov/doe/sites/maine.gov.doe/files/inline-files/Maine%20Learning%20Results%20for%20Social%20Studies%20-%20Revised%202019_5.pdf>. These comments will inform the work of the standards revision teams.

The standards review process opens with a public comment and public hearing prior to the convening of teams that will review and revise the social studies standards. The public hearing will occur on April 29th, Burton Cross Building, 111 Sewall Street, Augusta, Room 500, from 3-5pm and is intended to give anyone the opportunity to weigh-in on the direction of future social studies standards in Maine. Anyone may speak at the public hearing. People wishing to speak will be asked to sign in and it will be helpful, but not mandatory, to provide a written copy of their comments.

Anyone unable to attend the public hearing may send written comments by 5 pm on April 29th, 2024. Written comments may be emailed to sis.doe at maine.gov<mailto:sis.doe at maine.gov> with the subject "Social Studies Standards Review" or mailed to Maine Department of Education, attn: Beth Lambert, 23 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333.
