Key Shifts in Social Studies Standards with Sung Ja Shin and Brittany Rawson Haeg

In this episode, we talk with social studies leaders Sung Ja Shin (Minnesota Humanities Center) and Brittany Rawson Haeg (Minnesota Department of Education) about the key shifts in Minnesota’s updated social studies standards and the broader review/revision process behind them. We dig into what’s meaningfully different in this set of standards, when they go into effect, and what K–12 educators can expect. While there’s no perfect crosswalk from the former to the new, we have you covered with resources and strategies to get you started without feeling overwhelmed.
