Spring is coming, so it must be time for the New Young Adult Literature class. I’ve included the MIDAS and JPLS course numbers on the enclosed graphic. If you can share this with your teachers, that would be great. The course is designed for anyone who likes books – what subject they teach doesn’t matter. Last year I had a PE teacher and a school counselor join!

Understanding bias: A nuanced approach to a vital news literacy topic – May 28th
Bias is one of the most controversial and important subjects in news literacy. People frequently perceive and allege bias in news coverage — but what does this really mean? What makes a piece of news biased, and who decides? What role do our own biases play in our perceptions of bias? In this session, we’ll help you teach this vital, complex topic in ways that empower students to meaningfully evaluate the fairness and impartiality of news coverage.
