AI Summary

This bill aims to involve youth in civic engagement and the development of model curriculum units in the history and social science framework for public schools. It requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, in collaboration with a youth advisory committee, to develop model curriculum units that address topics such as the function and composition of government, the history of social movements, current events, and community-based action and service-learning projects. The bill also suggests the incorporation of media literacy education into the curriculum units, and requires the department to create an evaluation assessing the curriculum, pedagogy, and teaching materials before piloting the course, unit, or program.
