Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. We are submitting a revised Social Science course titled Youth and Law. This course does meet the UC/CSU A-G requirement "G."
The Youth and Family Law course is a semester elective course in law and justice that provides students with an opportunity for concentrated study of the legal, judicial, law enforcement, and corrections systems of the United States. Students focus on legal principles and the law construction and procedures in their study. In addition, students examine relevant examples of civil and criminal rules, law-enforcement methods, court procedures, and efforts toward corrective justice. Students also investigate legal and justice systems problems and issues arising from their law and justice course operation.
Law and justice students increase their practical understanding of how the justice system in the United States works. Their study builds upon critical concepts introduced in earlier grades as they extend their knowledge of the legal principles that are the basis for justice in the United States. As students study law and justice, they can make increasingly informed judgments on issues and problems arising from the operation of the legal and justice systems.
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services has approved the above course.
