Free expression, media literacy, and constructive dialogue are interconnected concepts under the umbrella of respectful discourse. While free expression has long been considered a basic human right in the United States, constructive dialogue and media literacy are newer ideas that focus on the responsibility to engage in productive, informed interactions that focus on individual values, beliefs, perspectives, and the importance of credible information.

This is a curated collection of resources on free expression, constructive dialogue, and media literacy that is designed to educate and provide learning opportunities for K-12 educators, parents, kids, public librarians, and the general public.

Each of the three topics is organized into the following sections:

• Definitions
• Videos
• Books, Articles, and Reports
• Teaching and Learning Resources
• Associations

Please take some time to browse through this collection.
