PBS Media Literacy Academy

By |

WSKG is recruiting educators for a local PBS Media Literacy Academy cohort. This small group of educators will work together with WSKG Education staff to work towards PBS Media Literacy Educator Certification. The goal of the WSKG Media Literacy Academy is to provide support and training with media literacy skills and media content creation, make connections with other educators, receive support from WSKG Education and PBS staff, and work through 2-3 micro-credentials together. Since many of our local educators are teaching or hosting learning experiences in the virtual space, we will be trying to help educators use as much existing content, lessons, and resources that they have already created to meet the micro-credentials. This opportunity is open to all educators in the Greater Southern Tier region.
