WESA features PA. districts focused on news literacy for all students
Pittsburgh’s NPR news station, 90.5 WESA, featured Pennsylvania school districts where educators are developing ways to ensure all their students learn news literacy before graduating.
The districts – Avonworth, Butler and Cornell – were accepted to the News Literacy Project’s District Fellowship, a three-year program that provides $30,000 grants and customized support to implement news literacy education districtwide.
“We’re really excited about the fact that we now have three districts in Pennsylvania — sort of a regional cohort — so that they can not only work together, but they can work together recognizing their reality as districts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and all that that might entail,” said News Literacy Project President and CEO Charles Salter.
