DeSantis: State to roll out new civics program with bonus for teachers
By Mynews13, July 14, 2021
ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida will roll out a new civics curriculum as early as this year, and teachers who pass accreditation for the program could earn a $3,000 bonus, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday.
During a stop at BridgePrep Academy, a public charter school in Orlando, the governor said the state is planning to spend another $106 million to roll out a civics curriculum called the National Model Civic Literacy Initiative.
Announcing $106M in additional funding for civics education, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says data shows Americans just don't know how history.

DeSantis said tests show that Florida students are underperforming in civics, including being able to name the three branches of government or some of the Founding Fathers.
“I think (civics) is extremely critical and always has been. I was a civics teacher for 15 years here in Orange County, and those are the things we talked about in class: Being able to have a discussion, have a difference of opinion, but still be kind to each other,” said Republican state Rep. Rene Plasencia, whose District 50 spans parts of Orange and Brevard counties. “Everyone has to have an open mind — we’re not always right about what we think.”

In order for teachers to earn the bonus, they’ll have to complete an accreditation program through the Florida Department of Education.
The governor said the new civics curriculum could be in place later this year.
