Remote Learning Ready: Translation of Practice for School Librarians
Civic Online Reasoning (from the Stanford History Education Group): Get beyond traditional website evaluation that no longer fits the way in which media is created and consumed. This free, research-based curriculum builds students' critical thinking skills, but is based on three simple questions.
The News Literacy Project: Includes educator resources like the Resource Library, a collection of lesson plans and activities, posters and infographics, student quizzes, and more, as well as Checkology which offers free news-literacy lessons that focus on fact-checking and journalistic skills.
See more suggestions and find resources and lesson plans on Common Sense Media's News Literacy for Classrooms page.

The ESIFC and Common Sense Digital Citizenship Curriculum
All students need digital citizenship skills to be active participants in their communities, both online and in person. The NYCDOE Department of Library Services has aligned the Common Sense Digital Citizenship Curriculum to the Empire State Information Fluency Continuum to help build these digital citizenship skills through an inquiry model for grades 1-12.
