Summary

Existing law requires the Instructional Quality Commission to review and revise, as necessary, the course requirements in the history-social science framework to ensure that minimum standards for courses in American government and civics include certain matters. This bill would additionally require the commission, when revising the history-social science framework, to ensure that these course requirements are also included in all history and social science courses and grade levels, as appropriate. The commission would also be required, whenever the history-social science framework is revised, to receive input from civics learning experts for the purpose of integrating civics learning content, concepts, and skills, at all appropriate grade levels, with the standards established by the State Board of Education in core curriculum areas, as specified, and to consider how civics and history instruction includes, at all appropriate grade levels, the application of that content. The bill would make a statement of legislative intent with regard to the subsequent history-social science framework.
