Building a foundation with news literacy: Essential tools for educators
Wednesday, August 21, 2024
5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT
In today’s world, news literacy is too important to leave out of your curriculum – in fact, it’s where you must start if you want to ensure that your students understand how to think critically and identify news, sources and information they can trust. News literacy skills have a part to play in nearly any subject or grade level, so why not develop them from the get-go?
In this edWebinar, let the News Literacy Project help you kick off the back-to-school season with free foundational tools you can count on! You’ll hear about what makes news literacy the key building block of media literacy, why it’s so critical today, and how many states are meeting this moment with news and media literacy education requirements.
The News Literacy Project’s Brittney Smith and Susan Minichiello will cover the resources every educator needs in their teaching toolkit this year, including a key framework for developing and assessing news literacy skills, a newsletter that helps you bring teachable moments from the news straight to your students, and standards-aligned Checkology® lessons.
This edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
