    2021 Celebrating Women’s History The election, civics education and your newspaper By Jodi Pushkin, President Florida Press Educational Services According to the Louis Frey Institute, research shows when students engage in simulated civic actions, they are prone to develop a positive political efficacy that contributes to lifelong engagement. The 2017 Florida Legislature amended Section 1007.25, Florida Statutes, to require students initially entering a Florida College System institution or state university in 2018-19 and thereafter to demonstrate competency in civic literacy. The amendment also requires the Chairs of the State Board of Education and Board of Governors’ to appoint a faculty committee to develop a new civics literacy course or revise an existing U.S. History or U.S. Government course to include the civic literacy content. The committee would also establish course competencies and identify outcomes that include, at minimum, the following: ▪ An understanding of the basic principles of American democracy and how they are applied in our republican form of government. ▪ An understanding of the U.S. Constitution. ▪ Knowledge of the founding documents and how they have shaped the nature and functions of our institutions of self-governance. ▪ An understanding of landmark Supreme Court cases and their impact on law and society. The local newspaper is a great teaching tool to engage your students in civics education. Did you know that more than 60 percent of people with high exposure to newspapers in childhood are regular readers of newspapers as adults, according to a study conducted for the News Media Alliance, former Newspaper Association of America Foundation? That percentage is significant because statistically people who read the newspaper daily are more engaged citizens.
