Michigan EPIC Michigan Education Portal for Interactive Content
About Us
Welcome Educators!

The matrix below is our way of organizing material and content. It has been an evolving tool that allows a variety of items to be categorized in a friendly and familiar manner.

The matrix links the Michigan Curriculum Framework Content Standards to primary and secondary resources in 9 different thematic categories. Select a theme (vertical) and a Standard (horizontal) you wish to teach and press the button where the columns meet. The selections below will take you to "module" pages which contain content such as:

  • interactive lessons and activities that cover several benchmarks simultaneously
  • assessments aligned to benchmarks and designed to familiarize students with the MEAP format
  • an automatic tabulation of the benchmarks your students accomplish and their assessment scores

*This area is in the early stages of development. Please excuse our dust as we continue to add more resources.
