UNESCO Media and Information Literacy Curriculum

Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers
(192 pages, published by UNESCO)

"This Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers is pioneering for two reasons. First, it draws on present trends toward the convergence of radio, television, Internet, newspapers, books, digital archives and libraries into one platform. Second, it is specifically designed with teachers in mind and for integration into the formal teacher education system.

It is divided into two parts.
  • Part 1 provides the MIL Curriculum and Competency Framework, with an overview of the curriculum rationale, design and main themes.
  • Part 2 includes the detailed Core and Non-Core Modules of the curriculum. (The MIL Curriculum for Teachers will be translated into Arabic, French, Russian, Spanish and, eventually, other languages.)"
