Following National News Literacy Week 2026, join the News Literacy Project for a close look at The Sift®️, our weekly newsletter for educators.
The Sift offers concise updates on trending topics such as social media and AI, and easy-to-implement ideas for bell ringers and lesson plans. Learn why this newsletter belongs in your inbox each week and get fresh tips and ideas for how to bring simple and effective news literacy conversations into your classroom.
Led by Susan Minichiello, the News Literacy Project’s Senior Manager of Education Content, this session will introduce attendees to The Sift’s free weekly Daily Do Now and RumorGuard® teaching slides. You will receive insights into how to incorporate these quick-hit resources into curriculum you already may be teaching. We’ll also include a brief introduction to NLP’s Checkology®️ virtual classroom, a one-stop shop for news literacy teaching resources, intended to complement The Sift. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.
