In an age of AI and algorithms, students encounter misleading science and health content at an alarming rate. Social media influencers and AI-generated posts can heighten anxiety, fuel body image issues, spark a desire to participate in dangerous trends and worse. But strong partnerships between districts, schools, families, and medical professionals can make a difference. These partnerships can ensure that students develop skills such as evaluating sources, assessing evidence, and thinking critically about online content and social media feeds.

Join Karen Kelsall-Lagola, Eli Cahan, and the News Literacy Project’s Dr. Brittney Smith and Elliott Goodman for an edWeb podcast to learn about the dangers posed to students by health misinformation and the actions that school leaders can take to help students recognize and spot falsehoods. They explore how districts across the U.S. have successfully utilized NLP’s District Fellowship program to implement curricula equipping all students with the skills to navigate today’s complex information landscape with confidence.

Listeners learn about:

  • How health- and science-related misinformation online reaches and influences students
  • How administrators can develop partnerships with families, community leaders, and medical professionals to support news literacy education
  • Cross-curricular resources to help students at all grades recognize rumors, AI fakes, and misinformation
  • How administrators can scale news literacy education across districts, with support from the News Literacy Project

The session explores real examples of districtwide approaches to news literacy education and health misinformation, as well as free, scalable, ready-to-implement classroom resources. This edWeb podcast appeals to K-12 administrators, district leaders, and curriculum leaders.
