Get ready for summer learning activities!

On average, students can lose two months of reading and 2.6 months of math skills each summer. The Minnesota Department of Education is committed to supporting and encouraging schools, libraries and other community organizations to provide children and families more high-quality summer opportunities. Find resources on the Summer Learning webpage.
Join the ELA Standards Review Committee!

During the 2019-20 school year, the Minnesota Department of Education will convene an English Language Arts (ELA) Standards Committee to review the current (2010) K-12 ELA standards. The standards are reviewed only once every 10 years, so it is important that we establish a highly qualified, diverse committee that understands best practices in ELA and the range of student needs across our state. Applications are now being accepted to serve on the committee. For more information, visit the ELA webpage.
