NLP Strategic Framework FY23 - Flipbook - Page 8
Pillar I:
Educator Engagement
Challenge
The next generation faces a signi昀椀cant civic disadvantage
because it is not prepared to discern fact from 昀椀ction. While
the need for media literacy instruction is being recognized
by education leaders and policymakers across the country,
the media literacy 昀椀eld in practice lacks both de昀椀nition
and classroom resources that re昀氀ect the way students
consume information. This makes creating a national
movement supporting media literacy education
extremely challenging, unequal and even
subject to politicization.
Priorities
1.1
Create accessible, nonpartisan educator
resources and curriculum that are continually
reimagined to remain best-in-class.
1.2
Design advanced professional learning
experiences and opportunities that create
news-literate educators prepared to teach
news literacy in polarized times.
8 — Pillar I
1.3
Implement news literacy education
through state and local education
partnerships; promote and distribute
programs with aligned partner
organizations.
1.4
Expand and engage a national
network of educators and design
state and national marketing efforts
to support and extend news literacy
instruction requirements.
Solution
NLP will support and in昀氀uence the
emerging media literacy movement by
promoting news literacy – teaching
students how to think about news
and information, not what to think
– and by partnering with educators,
administrators and policymakers to
fuel a national movement in education
that achieves necessary systemic
change and prepares students of all
backgrounds for active civic life.
