“Media literacy is not just important, it’s absolutely critical. It’s going to make the difference between whether kids are a tool of the mass media or whether the mass media is a tool for kids to use.”
-Linda Ellerbee-
The main vision at Darrick Wood School is to create independent thinkers who can develop the skills of media literacy to navigate a media saturated world where understanding – and negotiating – media messages is fundamental to navigating the wider world. The curriculum should inspire students to become content creators and use their academic and production skills in both their personal and professional lives.
