Commissioners proposed media literacy as the theme for the 2025 teacher summit and discussed timing and speakers.
Lucille Miller proposed making media literacy the summit focus; Kristania Brown and other members supported inviting English teachers and civics teachers to collaborate since the new standards and instructional guides address media’s role in civic life. Alice Riley and Kristania Brown highlighted that the SOLs and new instructional materials include standards and learning experiences for analyzing media and that the commission could curate classroom-ready lessons for teachers.
Commissioners discussed scheduling the summit after the November election so speakers can analyze election coverage; participants suggested November 13 as a provisional date, with Jim Dillard agreeing to confirm the Museum of History & Culture’s availability. The commission discussed inviting scholars who have provided election recaps in previous summits. No formal vote set the date; staff will confirm venue availability and finalize details.
