American Association of School Librarians commends News Literacy Project

The American Association of School Librarians recognized the News Literacy Project for a continued partnership with its Connecticut chapter, with association leaders calling news literacy skills “essential for every learner” and “one of the most important educational priorities of our time.”  

Connecticut is one of only four states that requires schools to teach news literacy. The News Literacy Project has partnered with the Connecticut Association of School Librarians since 2024 to equip educators with the tools they need to confidently teach news literacy.
