🎉 BIG NEWS: We're excited to announce a three-year, $1.15 million grant from The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation to support a partnership with Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the largest independent school district in the country! The partnership will ensure that all students learn news literacy skills and concepts before high school graduation. And it will pioneer a blueprint not only for districts in California seeking to align instruction with the state’s recent media literacy legislation, but also for others across the U.S. as a growing number of states pass similar legislation. 🔗 Read more: https://bit.ly/NLPandLAUSD #Education #NewsLiteracy
