Media Literacy Educator
This path combines the basics of critical thinking, practical information verification and the teaching of media literacy. You demonstrate that you not only master techniques such as lateral reading and the SIFT method, but can also pass them on to pupils clearly and without moralising. The certificate confirms completion of the courses and the final exam; it is not an accredited professional qualification.
What the certificate proves
- Distinguishes facts, opinions and mixed claims and recognises the most common cognitive biases.
- Verifies information using the SIFT method, lateral reading and tracing claims to their original source.
- Teaches media literacy lessons based on active learning, prebunking and teacher neutrality.
- Handles difficult classroom situations with sensitivity – from political topics to scams and deepfakes.
