On today’s podcast: educators and curriculum designers Melissa Wantz and Rachel Guldin.
Wantz is a former middle and high school English teacher with twenty years of classroom experience. She’s also a former print reporter, newspaper columnist and communications consultant – experience that proved invaluable when she helped create and design JLI’s Effective Communicators program.
Guldin is a assistant professor at Denison University in Ohio, and a former public school teacher, who’s taught English at the elementary and middle school level, among other subjects. Her classroom experience along with her research focus on media literacy helped her co-design the instructional materials for the Effective Communicators program.
In this episode, we discuss the power of journalism, media literacy, and how to unpack difficult subjects in the classroom.
