AllSides for Schools helps educators prepare students to participate thoughtfully in democracy – and in life.

AllSides for Schools equips educators with tools to build news literacy skills in the classroom. Teachers can use our balanced news, bias resources, and dialogue opportunities to instill the civic readiness students need to participate in democracy and build resilient communities.

Balanced Newsfeed™

AllSides Balanced News™ brings you top news stories from the Left, Center and Right of the political spectrum — side-by-side so students can learn media literacy through experience and teachers are free to teach news in the classroom without taking a side.

Media Bias Resources

Everyone is biased — and that's okay. There's no such thing as unbiased news. But hidden media bias misleads, manipulates and divides us. Help students learn how to spot media bias and rate their own bias.

Respectful Dialogue

Learn how to discuss, listen and respect each other, especially across differences, using Mismatch™ to connect your classroom to students outside their community.
