Media Literacy Curriculum Training for Teachers

Free training for New Mexico teachers - grades 6, 7, or 8

Eastern New Mexico University

This training will show middle school teachers how to implement media literacy into a standards-based classroom, and will cover basic media literacy concepts and skills, tobacco, alcohol, and nutrition marketing and counter-marketing, and activities for the classroom.  The training is ideal for language arts, health, ESL education, consumer education, and media and technology teachers, and aligns with NM state standards in these subjects.  Teachers of other subjects are also welcome!

Teachers who participate will receive free MLP educational DVD-ROMs, CD-ROMs, and a ready-made media literacy unit on DVD for the classroom valued at over $300.

All participating teachers will receive free lunch and snacks during the training, and substitute teacher reimbursement for their schools. 

Teachers from out of town will receive free lodging and reimbursements for travel and evening meals.
