AI Summary

This bill mandates that the department of elementary and secondary education, working with a newly established youth advisory committee, create model curriculum units for history and social science. These units will cover topics like how local, state, and federal governments function, the history of social movements, current events, and community action projects, with a consideration for including media literacy education. The youth advisory committee, composed of representatives from various youth organizations such as the Governor's Youth Council and Teens Leading The Way, will be consulted throughout the development and evaluation process of these curriculum units, which are to be ready by the 2014-2015 school year.
