About This Webinar
Students face an information landscape shaped by social media, AI and misinformation. News literacy education gives them the skills to evaluate evidence and credibility, build AI literacy, recognize and avoid misinformation, and understand the role of a free press in a robust democracy.
Join the News Literacy Project for an interactive webinar that introduces the fundamentals of news literacy and explores practical ways to incorporate it into your curriculum as you kick off the school year. Whether you're new to media and news literacy or looking for fresh ideas for the school year, this session will introduce practical strategies and ready-to-use resources that can be integrated into a variety of subject areas. Participants will learn strategies for helping students become critical consumers of information.
Designed primarily for middle and high school educators, this session will offer valuable insights and resources for educators at all grade levels.
Participants will:
- Develop a foundational understanding of news literacy and its core competencies.
- Discuss how to help students cultivate healthy news and media habits.
- Discover free, high-quality, nonpartisan classroom-ready resources available through Checkology®, NLP’s digital learning platform.
- Learn practical strategies for embedding news literacy across subject areas and leave with ideas that you can implement immediately in your classroom.
