Secondly, there is integration of the teaching and learning of content and process within the English language arts. The Michigan Curriculum Framework includes standards focused on content, teaching and learning, assessment, and professional development. Standards under development will address teacher preparation programs. The social studies curriculum should be designed so that students meet 25 standards that are indicators of responsible citizenship. These standards, expressed as attributes we envision for our graduates, are the intended results of students'experience with the curriculum.
Students make continuous progress toward meeting the standards at each level ofschooling.
All of the standards are pursued at every grade level of the curriculum from kindergarten to graduation. Although the standards refer to areas of knowledge and skill that no one ever masters completely in a total sense,benchmarks are established for each to designate clearly what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of the primary grades, the upper elementary grades. The goal of the Interactive University is to develop a model of how the University can best use the Internet to support K - 12teachers, students and families in disadvantaged urban communities. The California Heritage Project supports thisgoal by bringing the California Heritage Collection directly into the classroom for the first time. It focuses on an individual American Memory collection.
