Bill > SCR218

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Department of Education to integrate media literacy, which is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create, and communicate information, into the current public school curriculum for students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It suggests that this instruction could be included within English or Social Studies courses and encourages the Department to review successful media literacy initiatives from other states like California and Colorado, which have established resource banks, professional development for teachers, and incorporated media literacy into educational standards, all to help students become responsible and informed digital citizens.
