SESSION 1 — How do I apply what I’m learning about media literacy to my classroom and reduce my fear?
Tuesday, October 8, 7:00 – 8:00 PM

How do you keep your students at the center as you apply trusted media literacy and discussion techniques to your teaching toolbox? We all know that it can feel daunting to engage in conversation with students about what they are seeing in the news and social media feeds. This will be an interactive and practical session in which you will be joined by other educators to explore ways to
– Gather reputable media literacy resources;
– Learn and share effective discussion techniques and
–  Encourage dialogue over debate.
You will walk away feeling more confident so that you can bring all that you learn into your daily teaching practice.  Register for Session 1 HERE

 — More detailed descriptions for future sessions will be shared with registrants as they become available  —

HOW TO ACCESS ALL LCS SESSIONS: Registration for the LCS Series ensures that you have access to as many or as few of the sessions of interest to you. There is no obligation to attend all the sessions. *If you are interested in joining the LCS, we encourage you to share your interest with your supervisor (department chair, grade level leader, division head, PD coordinator, Dean of Faculty, etc.) as there is a group discount pass.

Notes for the All-School Pass:

  • Schools that choose the all-school, all-access pass should designate one faculty member or administrator to serve as the contact point at the school to disseminate the information and registration link to your school community for the sessions as they become available. We encourage schools to make note of which employees would like to attend each session so that they have a record at the end of the school year of numbers who have benefitted from the All School Pass.
  • Each member of the school community will then be responsible to register themselves for each session. The registration page for each session will indicate the passcode for registrants whose school has an All-School Pass.
  • Once registered for a session, each registrant will receive Zoom connection details the day of the session directly from Zoom.
