How We Work in K-12
We help K-12 schools adapt their curricula to a constantly evolving mediated and technological world without losing track of the objective of media literacy education: empowering lifelong learners to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, CREATE and ACT using all forms of media.
Guiding resources we have developed
To leverage media culture to enhance each school’s vision, we use a scope and sequence-based approach which:
- Vertically aligns how students develop ISTE competencies and media literacy: tech skills coupled with habits of mind to make self-aware choices as media makers, readers, and participants that expand their options as learners and citizens
- Collects and maps where and when students will learn basic operational media and technology skills to modernize and enhance current curricula
- Integrates media-related priorities as they emerge (i.e. digital citizenship, information and news literacy, computer science, STEM)
We collaborate with teachers, administrators, and students through:
- Lesson and unit planning, demonstrations, coordination and/or co-facilitation of interdisciplinary project-based learning experiences
- Multi-teacher workshops for curriculum design with corresponding “lab site” demonstrations and debriefing
- Development of pacing calendars, custom Media Literacy Scope and Sequences that blend media literacy and ISTE standards into school-wide learning objectives
- Administrative visioning (including on the purchasing and management of digital resources)
- Multi-school media literacy curriculum exchange workshops
