Advancing Policy to Foster K-12 Media Literacy
Samia Alkam; Daniela DiGiacomo
State Education Standard, v24 n3 2024
School library media specialists often lead the charge for media and information literacy in schools, and where there is instruction, libraries are the primary hubs for it. As they craft policies and build infrastructure for media literacy instruction, state leaders should leverage librarians' expertise. It should not be solely their responsibility to lead these efforts. Because information and media skills are required in all disciplines, teachers across content areas should be developing a generation of students who can think critically about the massive amounts of media they consume. This article examines how state leaders can support their school administrators, teachers, and library media specialists can implement a high-quality K-12 information and media literacy instruction and the infrastructure in schools.
