SRL Travels to Jordan
Leah Clapman, Elis Estrada and Rawan Elbaba facilitated a five-day training in Amman, Jordan in partnership with the Jordan Media Institute (JMI). Twelve educators from three different cities worked with SRL staffers to learn video production and journalism best practices. Teachers will work with students to produce videos for Almamlaka TV.
Super Tuesday is a great opportunity for student reporters to practice their journalism skills by talking to young voters about the candidates and issues they care about this election season.
We've partnered with KQED and the National Writing Project to provide a standards-aligned media literacy project in the run up to the election. Students will be able to share their voice about the issues that matter to them. Check out the showcase page to see what your students' work could look like.
