Checkology lessons are
standards-aligned

Essential life skills

News literacy students develop essential life skills that cut across subject areas. That’s why our Checkology lessons are aligned to national standards in English Language Arts, library and media studies, social studies, science and technology.

National standards alignments

Did you know?

The News Literacy Project developed the Framework for Teaching News Literacy, which includes news literacy standards, essential questions and knowledge/skills objectives, along with suggested performance tasks and learning activities. Our framework can be used for integrating news literacy into existing curriculum or as the basis for creating stand-alone courses or units.

“I love the ability to choose the topics and sequence that best align with the standards I am teaching. The quality of the content is top notch and students are always engaged in the NLP lessons.”

 Kim Gugino, teacher-librarian, 6-12 media and technology
