This is a free, self-paced, asynchronous course developed by OSPI’s Media Literacy & Digital Citizenship Program Supervisor Lesley James and offered by the AESD EdTech Leads from ESDs 101, 189, 123, and 114.

This course is relevant for any K–12 educator, although it is most relevant for those who provide direct instruction to students. Participants might be educators who are familiar with the range of skills encompassed by Media Literacy and are looking for new strategies for teaching these skills. Or participants might just be curious about options for teaching Media Literacy, even if they’re not planning to teach it. 

This course consists of two modules that introduce participants to the “Constructivist Media Decoding” strategy developed by the nonprofit organization Project Look Sharp. 

Participants are not required to complete both modules; clock hours will be awarded based on modules that are completed. Please note that the clock hours are not STEM clock hours.

Access to the Canvas course is provided after registering on pdEnroller. Course work can be submitted at any time before January 29th, 2027.
