About the Florida Civics Education Review

On June 26, 2019, Governor Ron DeSantis signed CS/HB 807, which amended section 1003.4156, Florida Statutes, to require the following: 
 

“All instructional materials for the civics education course must be reviewed and approved by the Commissioner of Education, in consultation with organizations that may include, but are not limited to, the Florida Joint Center for Citizenship, the Bill of Rights Institute, Hillsdale College, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, iCivics, and the Constitutional Sources Project, and with educators, school administrators, postsecondary education representatives, elected officials, business and industry leaders, parents, and the public. Any errors and inaccuracies the commissioner identifies in state-adopted materials must be corrected pursuant to s. 1006.35. After consulting with such entities and individuals, the commissioner shall review the current state-approved civics education course instructional materials and the test specifications for the statewide, standardized EOC assessment in civics education and shall make recommendations for improvements to the materials and test specifications by December 31, 2019.”

 

The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) is committed to a transparent and equitable review process that offers all education stakeholders the opportunity to provide input on the Civics End-of-Course (EOC) Assessment Test Item Specifications and state adopted Civics Education instructional materials.
