Ask Deeper Questions with Critical Media Literacy

Critical Media Literacy is a framework to help our children become critical thinkers and more empowered Global citizens. It helps students to question the relationships between media and audiences, information and power. We can no longer just accept what the media feeds us. It is crucial that students are armed with the tools to question the world around them. As the world becomes more interconnected, students will need to develop the skills and dispositions to question the information they are hearing, seeing, reading, creating, sharing, and using. Try asking these questions to your children after the next movie they watch, book they read, newspaper article that peruse, etc. These skills are built over time and will help your children to read between the lines in school and in life. #AdmissionSquad
