Program: CPE

Diversity in the classroom is increasing. For the first time in history, the majority of students are racial and ethnic minorities.

Students need to be exposed to authors and characters that look, sound, and act like them. Classrooms need to reflect diversity, not only on holidays but all the time. Spanish culture, achievements of minorities, and black history need to be embedded daily not taught only during a designated month or on a holiday.

53. Integrating Media Literacy into Your Classroom

Program: CPE

Dates: 11/8/2023 to 12/5/2023

Students are exposed to a variety of media throughout the day. Media is an influential force in the lives of students. Television, radio, computers, internet, social media, streaming, video games and smartphones are just a few examples of the media that students interact with daily. However, when it comes to being able to recognize real news versus a fake news article that might appear on their feed, the majority of students cannot tell the difference. Educators have a responsibility to teach students how to critically engage with mass media. In order to be an informed citizen, students must know how to access, analyze, evaluate, create and act using all forms of media. It is imperative that students possess these skills so that they can make informed decisions as adults. During this three-credit online course, participants will come to understand what media literacy skills are, their importance in the classroom, how to integrate media literacy skills and design lessons and activities that will help students to become media literate.

The classroom is one of the most challenging areas an educator faces on a day-to-day basis. Student problem behavior is cited by the U.S. Department of Educatio
as one of the top three reasons why educators leave the field and are one of the top two content areas identified
by teachers as a gap in pre-service training. Effective classroom management is important to the whole educational process because it provides students with a safe, consistent, positive, and predictable learning environment. In turn, this helps prevent teacher burnout and will make students and teachers feel safer and happier. Classroom management involves more than just discipline and sending students to the office.

student behavior. By the end of the learning path, you will develop a fully customized comprehensive classroom management plan for your own classroom environment.
