The Consortium for Media Literacy exists to foster programs through teamwork. Often, programs require close working relationships between many different entities: government agencies, schools and school districts, nonprofit organizations, university researchers and funding agencies. And of course, all of these relationships depend on individuals and their performance. Delivering these complex programs requires teamwork and management. Programs start with an excellent yet practical idea, a team, a structure, a workplan, and funding. The Consortium for Media Literacy’s team has implemented large-scale and small-scale projects with integrity and success. We welcome the possibility of working with you and your team.
Developers and Publishers, Corporate Programs and Media Companies
The Consortium for Media Literacy welcomes all relationships and funding programs that advance the cause of media literacy using a compatible philosophy of empowerment through education. Through its own structure and through affiliate organizations, the Consortium for Media Literacy can offer a full range of support services to deliver effective programs on time and within budget.
Educators and Trainers
Educators and trainers need not “walk alone” in providing media literacy programs and services. The Consortium for Media Literacy provides a full range of resources and support services.
School Districts, Independent and Parochial Schools
Media literacy provides an effective integration tool with common vocabulary and a common methodology for critical thinking and for media construction that cuts across all curricular areas while meeting state education standards. School organizations can foster a media literacy learning community by providing the needed structure, support services, evaluation and technology that the Consortium for Media Literacy is equipped to help build.
Preschool, After School, Community-Based Youth Programs and Arts Agencies
No child is too young or too old for media literacy! Media literacy empowers children with the skills they need to be successful in a global media world: the tools of critical thinking and facility with media production and technology. Critical thinking and technology use for media production must go hand-in-hand to fully serve the needs of today’s youth and of a democratic society. The Consortium for Media Literacy provides the resources, structure, evaluation, tools and support to enable media literacy to grow as children are growing up. The arts and media literacy work together hand-in-hand, and the Consortium for Media Literacy has helped show how.
