OUR MISSION
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
In just 50 years, we’ve created countless new ways to communicate. Yet the traditional secondary school curriculum pays little attention to the role of communication in society. It is our job, as educators, to empower students with the tools they need to thrive in the ever changing media environment.
OUR CURRICULUM
An Interdisciplinary
Curriculum
Clio’s program, ‘Communication Across the Curriculum,’ prepares students to become ethically responsible communicators in today’s world, and is designed to fit naturally into the traditional secondary school curriculum. Its 6 KEY THEMES explore fundamental concepts in Communication and Media Studies.
Clio was created by Professor Gwenyth Jackaway. She consults with independent schools in the New York area to help them prepare tomorrow’s leaders to be ethically responsible communicators.
Through lectures, workshops and innovative curricula, Dr. Jackaway helps schools offer their students tools to safely and wisely navigate the stream of digital communication that they consume each day.
Clio offers a range of programs that can be tailored to each school’s unique needs. Services range from half-day professional development lectures and workshops, to complete curriculum redesign.
