The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 38, aims to establish a task force dedicated to reviewing and making recommendations regarding the adoption of specific social studies curriculum standards. These standards are outlined in "American Birthright: The Civics Alliance's Model K-12 Social Studies Standards," which have been developed by the Civics Alliance.
The bill introduces new legal language to amend the general statutes, specifically to create this task force focused on social studies curriculum standards. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill. The primary objective is to ensure that the social studies curriculum aligns with the standards set forth by the Civics Alliance, thereby enhancing the educational framework in this subject area.
