Current Narrative:

Civics standards are integrated in Florida’s ESOL curriculum frameworks. The civics content includes career information, contextualized lesson plans and workforce preparation activities. ESOL level 6 includes college and career readiness standards for reading integrated into the ESOL/EL Civics program. By integrating English literacy and civics education programs, instruction is strengthened to prepare adult learners regardless of education attained in their native country, to acquire basic skills of language acquisition and to understand legal rights and responsibilities of citizenship, civic participation and services provided by systems in the U.S. such as health, government and education. Adult educators can participate in ESOL/EL Civics regional workshops and webinars sponsored in collaboration with the IPDAE, Adult and Community Educators (ACE) of Florida and the Florida Literacy Coalition. Webinars on civics integration are available and archived on the IPDAE website at www.floridaipdae.org.

Teachers providing EL/Civics instruction are provided the FDOE “EL/Civics Teacher Handbook” which is available at the FDOE adult education website: www.fldoe.org/academics/career-adult-edu/adult-edu/ resources.stml.

Local educational agencies implementing EL/Civics education grants incorporate four components of English literacy and civics education throughout the course, as found at the EL/Civics online website: www. elcivicsonline.org/ and cover EL/Civics content.
