News Literacy in the Classroom – Professional Development

With access to multiple news sources, constant updates, and false information, it can be more challenging than ever for students to sort through the chaos and separate fact from fiction. Having rich discussions around current events in the classroom can boost students’ social and emotional skills and create a deeper connection between you and your students. In this professional development workshop, we’ll talk about the current news landscape, how to integrate news literacy into your content area, and how to have important conversations about civics and current events with your students. This PD will be two hours via Zoom and is recommended for K-12 educators and youth-serving professionals. Register for free with code EXPLORE.
