SUMMARY:Representations of Teachers in the Media across time and space
DESCRIPTION:Abbott Elementary is out to bust all the typical teacher tropes that have manifested in popular culture across time. As Marshall (2016) writes\, teachers have predominantly been represented in popular culture as saintly\, un-intellectual nurturers\, or the opposite\, as monsters\, all the while presenting a misogynistic view of the teaching profession that’s dominated by women. In this presentation\, media literacy educators/scholars\, Dr. Stephanie Flores-Koulish and Sr. Rose Pacatte will examine various depictions of teacher depictions in the media\, past and present using the critical lenses of media literacy education\, and discuss the implications of such depictions on the profession and especially the impact on this female-dominated profession. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Media Literacy and the Civic Mission of Schools
DESCRIPTION:Our country and constitutional democracy can only thrive when schools prepare the next generation to be literate and independent consumers and producers of news and media. That mission can only be achieved when schools first reflect a broader civic mission. For decades\, that mission has been underresourced in terms of both funding and time on topic. The bipartisan Civics Secures Democracy Act offers an opportunity to invest a billion dollars a year for the next five years in civics and U.S. history\, explicitly calling out functions of media literacy. Come learn about how the media literacy community serves as a linchpin to getting this bill to the finish line and reclaiming the civic mission of schools. \nREGISTER HERE
