An important program is the VIRTUAL EDUCATOR RESOURCES
MEDIA LITERACY TOOLKIT
To support our teachers, the Educator’s Institute for Human Rights and the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center have curated resources to facilitate difficult discussions in the classroom around media literacy. These tools contain creative lessons and articles on media ethics, identifying propaganda, leading discussions after a crisis, and teaching controversial issues in the classroom. With these tools, teachers will be equipped to conduct meaningful and informed conversations in the classroom, promoting learning and understanding around this critically important topic.
Educators know their students, classrooms, and community best.
As with any resource, be sure to review and determine which resources best serve your specific circumstances.
