The model program shall include an accurate, objective assessment of the nation’s current and projected energy supplies and a review of the nation’s progress in the development of alternative energy resources, with an emphasis on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
(b) The model program shall be designed to provide instruction to pupils regarding all of the following:
(1) The finite nature of our nation’s current basic energy resources.
(2) The effects of energy extraction from nonrenewable resources on the environment.
(3) An examination of the balance between consumer demands for energy and the need for energy conservation, as well as the effect of present energy usage on the energy needs of future generations.
(4) An examination of policy issues regarding the use of alternative energy resources, including the weatherization of homes and businesses, individual and business energy conservation, the availability of incentives to promote the development of renewable energy resources, and the cost-effectiveness of various types of energy production such as fossil fuels, nuclear energy, solar power, wind power, and geothermal energy.

51775. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that work experience education is an integral part of the total educational process of pupils, and that work experience education can provide opportunities for pupils to acquire lifelong employability skills, as well as opportunities for pupils to develop general and specific occupational skills.
The Legislature recognizes that there is a need to provide for the review of work experience education programs offered by school districts offering these programs at least once every three years, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article to establish a mechanism for the review and improvement of work experience education programs offered in the public schools to ensure that pupils receive high quality instruction. It is further the intent of the Legislature to establish a system whereby school districts and county offices of education may form consortia for purposes of conducting quality reviews of work experience education programs and for the sharing of information, resources, and technical assistance.

51777. (a) For purposes of facilitating the program reviews required by Section 51776, the governing boards of two or more school districts may agree to establish a consortium of participating school districts. The Superintendent of Public Instruction may determine whether the size of a school district would be counterproductive to the establishment of a consortium with that school district and another school district, thereby making it advisable that the school district is reviewed by its own certified program reviewers. In cases in which the Superintendent of Public Instruction has determined that the onsite review shall be conducted by certified program reviewers from that district, the reviewers may conduct reviews in any school of the district other than the school in which they are employed. In all other onsite reviews, the reviews shall not be conducted by persons who are employed by the district.
(b) Each consortium shall maintain a list of available certified program reviewers submitted by participating school districts.
(c)  Trained members of each consortium shall review work experience education programs in participating school districts. A report on the results of the review shall be submitted to the governing board of the school district, the State Department of Education, and the Work Experience Education Consortia Steering Committee established under Section 51778.
