LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 873, as introduced, Berman.
Pupil instruction: media literacy.
Existing law requires the adopted course of study for grades 1 to 6, inclusive, and for grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to offer instruction or courses in specified areas of study, including social sciences. Existing law requires the State Department of Education to make available to school districts on its internet website a list of resources and instructional materials on media literacy, as defined, including media literacy professional development programs for teachers.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would incorporate instruction on information literacy, such as media literacy and digital citizenship, in schools.
