Hi Katie, Today’s information landscape is the most complex in history. Though digital natives, our students need (and want!) news literacy instruction. What if your district could build a sustainable and scalable approach to news and media literacy that delivers lasting impact for both educators and students? The District Fellowship program from the News Literacy Project has blueprints designed to help you do exactly that. Learn about the fellowship Why apply? Receive $10,000 annually for three years. Get hands-on support to plan, pilot and scale your work across your district. Join a powerful network of education leaders constructing this work together. Here's how it works: Year 1: Build your foundation and create a strategic, districtwide action plan. Year 2: Pilot your plan with targeted support and feedback. Year 3: Expand and scale your work to maximize lasting impact. This isn’t just professional learning. It’s a comprehensive, supported pathway to real, systemic change.  Applications for our next cohort are now open! Apply by Dec. 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Don’t wait — we recommend getting started before summer vacation. You’ll need to engage the right people in your district’s administration to support your application, so it’s a good idea to reach out early.  Questions? Reply to this email, and we’ll be happy to help.
