Rhode Island Media Literacy Standards Guide
Curriculum directors in Rhode Island use this guide to plan media literacy, digital citizenship, and news analysis instruction aligned to local expectations. SaC does not replace official state standards documents — use your state department of education as the authoritative source and map SaC modules to your district scope and sequence.

Typical alignment areas
Most Rhode Island districts connect media literacy to ELA reading informational text, research skills, speaking and listening, and social studies inquiry practices. Library and technology standards often cover digital citizenship, online safety, and ethical use of information.
District planning questions
Ask which grade bands will pilot first, whether substitutes must facilitate lessons, and how you will assess sourcing and civil discourse. SaC's Split-Level handouts reduce prep time while keeping objectives visible for observers and coaches.
Recommended actions
- Map one SaC module series to a quarter pacing guide
- Train facilitators on Orange-Coded Navigator's Guides
- Use Issue Tracker Matrix for authentic current-events practice
