Roots of Media Literacy
L
isten as Tessa Jolls, president and CEO of the Center for Media Literacy, describes the early years of the field and how it has evolved since then on this special episode of The Mind Online, a podcast of Teaching Tolerance. "Media literacy is foundational to almost every aspect of learning," she says. You'll hear how she breaks down the core concepts of media literacy: Whether it's deconstructing old media or constructing new media. To hear this podcast, please click here.
In October 2018, the
Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest convened a public conversation on American democracy in historical perspective.
Comprising historians and journalists, the conversation examined the promises and shortcomings of American democracy over time from a variety of perspectives. In follow-up to the event, Villanova University's Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest has created a free resource," American Democracy: 8 Key Takeaways." They encourage teachers, students, and voters to use this resource as a starting point for their own conversations about the American democratic experiment.

Make Time for Innovation Despite Curricular Demands
Kara Clayton
published a new article called Make Time for Innovation Despite Curricular Demands
. Clayton writes about her
experience
dealing with the
highly structured reading program called
Success for All
(SFA) and how making PSAs with her students helped her make time for innovation. She writes, " Innovation and literacy do not have to take place in silos. Instead, they can happen hand-in-hand... innovation, collaboration, discussion and reflection. Yes, it can happen in the elementary schools even when curricular demands seem overwhelming." To read the full article, click here.
