Media are the oceans in which we live and communicate. Sometimes calm; sometimes turbulent; always changing. As with oceans, we need media but must know how to navigate and use them. This is why media literacy is the most important skill, and why we cannot be too media literate.

Teachers need to know and exercise media literacy because students learn and demonstrate their learning via media. AML knows Ontario’s media literacy curriculum because we wrote it, making Ontario the first educational jurisdiction in the world to mandate media studies in every core English/Language course.

Our instructors have worked in K-12 classrooms, and we employ our exceptional colleagues as guest speakers and mentors. We seek out and collaborate with global scholars and classroom teachers on the cutting edge of media literacy education, combining pedagogical theory and its grounding practice.

We recognize the challenging work/life balance of teachers, so there is much opportunity to apply your learning practically and immediately to your own classroom.
