News Literacy Project Inc

Classroom-ready resources and community engagement

Classroom resources We develop top-tier, classroom-ready resources for the Checkology virtual classroom, our online learning platform, and make them available in more than 110,000 schools through the Clever platform — alongside leading edtech tools. Checkology offers: - 20 interactive lessons exploring topics such as news media bias, misinformation, conspiratorial thinking and more. - Resource library that hosts a wide-ranging collection of lesson plans, classroom activities, posters, videos and quizzes to support news literacy instruction across subjects and grade levels. Resources are designed to be flexible and easy to adapt, whether an educator has just a few minutes or a full class period to teach. - The Sift® weekly newsletter with teaching ideas, discussion prompts, quizzes and two slide decks: quick Daily Do Now openers and RumorGuard® slides that help students break down and challenge viral rumors. We’re also reaching parents, guardians and community educators of middle and high school students more directly to address common misunderstandings about news literacy. These efforts help trusted adults reinforce what students are learning in school and build broader support for news literacy in their communities. - Scroll Smarter, a monthly newsletter that will launch at the start of the 2025-26 school year, offers family-friendly tips, tools and conversation starters on topics like social media, influencers, algorithms, AI and false rumors. - Training sessions and tailored resources for districts, librarians and community-based leaders who work directly with youth or support those who do – preparing them to teach news literacy in their communities and respond to growing questions and concerns from families. It costs approximately $20 per student to prepare them with the skills to challenge misinformation and approximately $125 per educator to provide them with news literacy training and resources.
