Pennsylvania HB332 mandates media literacy education in public schools from kindergarten through grade twelve.
Pennsylvania HB332 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Department of Education to develop an age-appropriate model curriculum for media literacy. This curriculum, to be completed within six months of the bill's effective date, will be incorporated into school curriculums starting the following school year. The curriculum may cover developing critical thinking skills, understanding media's cultural impact, identifying marketing strategies, recognizing bias and misinformation, and evaluating media messages.
