Michigan standards alignment
Designed for high school. Below is every Michiganstandard these courses cover: the exact code, the standard's own words, and the lesson that covers it. Where we only cover part of a standard, it says so, and says which part.

Read this before you rely on it
- We mapped this ourselves. This alignment was done by ElementaryMBA against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by Michigan's education authority or by anyone else.
- Every code was fetched, then transcribed word for word. Each framework below shows the date its codes and text were retrieved from the publisher.
- Standards get revised.A code can be renumbered or its wording changed without notice, and some states publish more than one live edition of the same document. Confirm anything you file against your own jurisdiction's current requirements, using the source links below.
- We would rather claim less. Where the courses only partly cover a standard, this page says partially covered and explains the gap. Standards we considered and could not honestly claim are listed at the bottom, with the reasons.

What we don't claim
A standards page is only worth reading if the omissions are honest too. We looked at these and left them out:
- Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no Michigan Common Core (Michigan K-12) mathematics standard.
- Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. Michigan adopted the NGSS verbatim as the Michigan Science Standards (November 10, 2015), so our one honest science claim — HS-ESS3-1, partial — comes through the shared NGSS mapping with the limit stated on the entry. There is no laboratory work, investigation, or modelling in this catalog, and we will not claim more.
- Michigan's World History, U.S. History, Economics, and Geography strands — deferred, not denied. The catalog's commodity, colonial, labor, civil-rights, and Cold-War history and its commodity economics WOULD map to Michigan's high-school World History (WHG), U.S. History (USHG), Economics (E), and Geography (G) strands, as they do in other states. But those strands sit in the 2019 document's multi-column, era-based layout, and the PDF's subset-font encoding makes clean verbatim transcription of that layout unreliable. Our rule is verbatim-or-nothing, so we mapped the High School Civics strand (which decoded cleanly and was verified) this pass and DEFER the other social-studies strands rather than risk citing text we cannot cleanly verify.
- Tribal governments (C3.2.3, C3.2.4). Michigan's C3.2 cluster names tribal governments and tribal sovereignty (C3.2.4 is entirely about it). Michigan Civics teaches Michigan's state and local structure but not tribal governments, so C3.2.3 is claimed as partial and C3.2.4 is not claimed. The gap is in the course, not the standards.
- Michigan's own state structure is taught more fully than any one code captures. Michigan Civics teaches the 1963 Constitution, the nonpartisan-ballot-but-party-nominated Supreme Court, the joint-ticket Lieutenant Governor with a separately elected Secretary of State and Attorney General, term limits (Proposal 1 of 2022), and the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission — from Michigan's own sources. C3.2.3 (how state/local governments are organized) and C3.2.6 (initiative/referendum/recall) host most of it, but the judicial-selection quirk and the redistricting commission's design have no code of their own beyond the direct-democracy mechanism that created it.
- The federal-heavy and political-science civics standards we checked and rejected. C1.1.1-1.1.4 (political philosophy and systems of government), C2.1.1-2.1.3 (the founding debates and origins as named content), C2.2.1-2.2.3 (the Democratic Values ↔ Constitutional Principles pairing), C3.1.6 (federal revenue and expenditure), C3.3.1-3.3.6 (interest groups, parties, public opinion, campaigns, NGOs, and media types — our media literacy is consumer protection, not political-media analysis), all of C4 (the Bill of Rights and civil-rights case lists — touched only through Know Your Rights, a thin overlap), all of C5 (U.S. foreign policy and international institutions), C6.1.2/6.1.3 (the expansion of citizenship and territorial/tribal representation), C6.3.1 (civic dispositions as a named concept), and C6.4.1/6.4.2 (the pursuit of Democratic Values and a survey of civil disobedience and social movements) — the courses do not genuinely teach these, so we do not claim them.

Don't take the mapping on trust. Open the lesson and check it against the standard. Every course publishes its sources too.
