Models
As news literacy education is
not widely required nationwide,
there are a lack of successful
practitioner models for those
interested in integrating news
literacy education into their
oïcial curriculum.
TheSolution
To expand the teaching of news
literacy on a national scale, NLP
will create both district-level
practitioner models (through
the District Fellowship program
and other district partnerships)
and individual practitioner
models (through professional
development, community building
and outreach).
What success would look like
is to see news literacy as a
common practice, just part of
the conversation. If we want to
prepare kids for tomorrow, you9ve
got to be thinking about tomorrow.

the requirement. In states without a news
literacy education requirement, these
models will serve as
