Education and the Media: Inquiry to Action
Saturday, April 10, 2010
Panel Discussion with Members of the Media
10 – 12 AM
Plus 3 more follow-up sessions
April 24th, May 8th, and May 22nd
Julia Davis Branch
St. Louis Public Libraries
St. Louis MO 63106
All ages and people welcome – young people, students, teachers, community members, artists, grandparents!
About the Session:
The media creates certain narratives about education, and those narratives influence the everyday understandings of educational concepts such as: school choice, the achievement gap, equity, and funding. In this ItAG we will examine the complex and multilayered ways in which education is represented and shaped by the media and, in turn, how people experience and understand education. We will kick off with a panel discussion by members of the St. Louis media – representing the Internet, TV, radio, and print – as we examine the ways that education is presented.
About the Facilitator:
Marilyn Ayres-Salamon has had a rich range of experiences as a public school teacher in both a suburban and urban district; in an alternative school for students with emotional and behavior disabilities, and an instructor at the university level. She has national certification through the Journalism Educators Association. She is presently on the Educational Studies faculty at Saint Louis University.
This four-session Inquiry to Action Group is offered FREE by the Literacy for Social Justice Group with the support of the Doerr Center for Social Justice at SLU. It is part of a larger project called
“Public Education, Public Voices.”
