The Global Critical Media Literacy Educators’ Resource Guide

The Global Critical Media Literacy Educators’ Resource GuideDownload your free version of the Global Critical Media Literacy Project’s Educators’ Resource Guide. The GCMLP implements the outcomes of a critical media literacy education through a service learning pedagogy. Students will be introduced to exercises, experiences, and assignments, which focus on developing student’s classroom engagement, empowerment, critical awareness of media, civic engagement, and adoption of a social justice agenda. The guide enables students to work with faculty to produce GCMLP Webpage content, which can be consumed by the public to help expand citizen’s understanding of key events and processes in the global society. All we ask in exchange is that you share the GCMLP Educators’ Resource Guide with your colleagues at your institution and beyond. We are happy to visit your campus and run a GCMLP Workshop.
