Changes are coming to Social Studies classes in Minnesota. New standards will be implemented in classrooms across the state this fall. This update is part of a regular process, with state educational standards being revised every ten years.

The new standards have been under development since the 2020-2021 period. Further details about the changes and what they will mean for K-12 students are available from local news sources.
