Our Framework for Teaching News Literacy is a guide for educators that includes core standards, essential questions, learning objectives and activities. Teachers can use it to build new courses or to bring news literacy into classes they already teach. This framework is based on the “Understanding by Design” (UbD)® model, a popular teaching method created by Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins. UbD helps students build big-picture thinking skills and apply what they learn to real life. It also brings together the best ways to plan lessons, teach effectively and measure what students are learning. Our grade band expectations can be used to support a districtwide approach to teaching news literacy.
