Dear Jenny,

You are invited to the News Literacy Project’s next educator webinar, Harm and Distrust: Honoring Historical Truths in the Classroom.

Teaching historical truths can sometimes lead to difficult conversations in the classroom. It is essential for us to not only meet conversations about race, equity and injustices head-on, but to do so in a way that honors all voices.

During this free, one-hour edWeb webinar, participants will learn about the historical failure of mainstream news organizations to serve all people equally, the legacies of distrust this has caused among specific groups in America — particularly Black Americans — and recent efforts by news outlets to improve their coverage.

Plus: Hear from education professionals — Brittany Hogan, educational equity consultant at BTheGrowth, and K.C. Boyd, a news literacy ambassador and a library media specialist at Jefferson Middle School Academy in Washington, D.C. — about how they tackle difficult conversations in the classroom. Brittney Smith, NLP’s senior manager of education partnerships (East), will moderate. Explore some of the resources —including the new “Harm & Distrust” lesson on Checkology® — that are available to support educators as we all work to make progress toward a more equitable and just society. Perhaps “Harm & Distrust” fits into your Black History Month plans. Ask any questions you may have about “Harm & Distrust” or other NLP resources.

The event will be recorded, with a link to the recording shared with all registrants afterward. Don’t wait — register today!
