AB 250 Curriculum Support and Reform Act
Chaptered Into Law - October 8, 2011
(8b) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this act, to do all of the
following:
(1) Develop a curriculum, instruction, and assessment system to implement
the common core state standards that intentionally does both of the
following:
(A) Focuses on integrating 21st century skills, including critical
thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, creativity,
and innovation, as a competency-based approach to learning in all
core academic content areas, including English language arts,
mathematics, history-social science, science, health education,
visual and performing arts, and world languages.
(B) Promotes higher order thinking skills and interdisciplinary
approaches that integrate the use of supportive technologies,
inquiry, and problem-based learning to provide contexts for pupils
to apply learning in relevant, real-world scenarios and that prepare
pupils for college, career, and citizenship in the 21st century.
Connections to the Past –
Civic Action Today!Why is this important?
Students who receive effective civic learning are:
More likely to vote and discuss politics at home
Four times more likely to volunteer and work on
community issues
More confident in their ability to speak publicly and
communicate with their elected representatives.
Benefits of civic learning:
81% of high school dropouts
said they would have been less
likely to do so if there were
more opportunities for
experiential learning.
Students who receive both
traditional and interactive civics
score highest on assessments
and demonstrate high levels of
21st century skills like critical
thinking, understanding news,
and work ethic.
Schools with civic learning
programs are more likely to be
“safe, inclusive, and respectful.”

“Literacy is the key word here, because the teaching of history should have reading and writing at its core… This means teaching students to be informed readers, writers, and thinkers about the past as well as the present—a goal all parties should be able to embrace. Our democracy’s vitality depends on it.”
-Sam Wineburg
“Reading proficiency isn’tin and of itself the magic key to competence. It’s what reading enables us to learn and to do that is critical…”
