Elections and Misinformation: Helping Students Build Skills and Knowledge

As we hurtle toward another volatile election season, learn how educators can help students develop the necessary skills to distinguish high-quality news coverage from misinformation, advertising, and propaganda. See how we can create space for critical, evidence-based classroom conversations while helping students navigate and express their own feelings about current events.

Join two of the News Literacy Project’s California news literacy ambassadors, Adriana Chavira and Molly June Roquet, as they share strategies for helping students develop news literacy skills and find reliable information about elections and voting.

Chavira is a journalism teacher at Daniel Pearl Magnet High School in Los Angeles, and Roquet is an education librarian at Saint Mary’s College of California.

This FREE webinar is intended primarily for middle and high school educators in California but open to all!
