Professional Development Announcement--Media Literacy Integration


WLA ScLD is pleased to announce that UW is offering this VIRTUAL course with Teacher Librarians in mind!

Frank Baker is coming to the UW this summer! The College of Education, UW, will offer Frank’s 9-week media literacy course (online): Media Literacy: Integrating 21st Century Life Skills across the Curriculum. This 1-credit course designed for K-12 educators will meet virtually for one hour each Wednesday from June 23rd through August 18th, 9:40-10:40 am.

Teaching students to apply critical thinking skills to the media they regularly consume and produce must be considered an essential part of a 21st century education. Join Frank W. Baker, internationally known media literacy educator, for this special summer course offering. Course participants will learn strategies for incorporating media literacy into every subject and discipline addressed in K-12 classrooms.

The course is not to be missed. Content to be addressed includes: social media & media literacy;
fake news; social justice and media literacy; visual literacy; media production and more.

Frank Baker is the author of four books and several articles focused on media literacy education. He’s also known for his Media Literacy Clearinghouse, a resource for educators. In addition to his publications, he has served on numerous advisory committees including the National Council of Teachers of English 2020 task force on critical media literacy. He frequently presents at workshops, conferences and in schools all across the country.

Last summer Frank offered a 1-credit course for a group of teacher-librarians at a college in Ohio. The course received rave reviews from participants and inspired the creation of this course.
