Michigan State Assessments for ELA
The State of Michigan has adopted the SAT and designed the M-STEP to assess students mastery of Michigan K-12 Standards for English Language Arts.
M-STEP Summative Assessment
The M-STEP will include our summative assessments designed to measure student growth effectively for today’s students. English language arts and mathematics will be assessed in grades 3–8, science in grades 4 and 7, and social studies in grades 5 and 8.
English Language Arts curriculum must be aligned with the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations, the Michigan Merit Curriculum and the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy. Expectations should be implemented within and across grade levels to meet or exceed the standards, benchmarks and expectations.
Most importantly, all literacy instruction should have a research-based focus.
The Redesigned SAT
To help students prepare for our redesigned assessments, the College Board has designed sample questions to illustrate the key changes being made to the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT™ 10, and PSAT™ 8/9.
