Critical Thinking

Kansas City Public Library has partnered with Consensus KC to host conversations and workshops about how to engage with others who have shared mis- or dis-information. We have used News Literacy Project's guides, NewseumED programs, ALA's Media Literacy Guide, news stories themselves, and trained moderators to guide discussions. Our Legal & Government Information Specialist, Jenny Garmon, has led the creation of web catalog lists and libguides as well.
We have found that there is demand for this content and we're working to increase our programming.

This sounds like a great initiative and I hope it gets wider visibility!

Hi Kim-
Have you seen the SHEG (Stanford History Education Group) Civic Online Reasoning materials? I could imagine taking some of their activities, videos, etc. and creating some programming around that. It's really terrific - and it's free. (https://cor.stanford.edu/ )

Hi Lisa, yes! It is in one of our web catalog lists as a resource. We agree, it is terrific.
