I wanted to make you aware of a potential grant opportunity with the News Literacy Project that you might be interested in bringing to your districts. My district was part of the first News Literacy Project cohort, and you will see from the video linked below that we had an excellent experience. If you are interested sharing this with your admin and in applying, feel free to reach out with any questions.
💡 News Literacy Project's District Fellowship – $30K Grant Opportunity
The News Literacy Project's District Fellowship program offers a $30,000 grant over three years to help districts implement information, news, and media literacy education for students. Fellows receive expert support, professional learning, and implementation guidance while joining a network of educators dedicated to empowering students with essential news literacy skills. You can watch an NLP video about the work Jodi Ide, Gretchen Zaitzeff and their team have accomplished in the Canyons School District, UT using the NLP District Fellowship Grant here. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to Gretchen (Gretchen.zaitzeff@canyonsdistrict.org).
