Shaunelle Curry
Media Studies Professor
California State University - Los Angeles
Executive Director, Media Done Responsibly
|
"Media Done Responsibly, or MDR as we call it, is a media literacy education and mentor program. We train college students to be peer mentors for middle and high school students. Our college mentors go into local middle and high schools across Los Angeles County and teach kids to analyze and understand the 13+ hours of media they consume on a daily basis. Our latest project is to streamline this process for educators to access our curriculum and training. While we have been focused primarily on educating and preparing youth in L.A., we have educators who want to replicate this peer mentor model in their classrooms across the country." [
