What Sources Do You Use for Current Events in Your Classroom?

It’s more important than ever to use reliable, unbiased news sources in your classroom. We all know teachers can receive tons of feedback on what sources they use. With The Wall Street Journal, you can trust your source with real, factual, and unbiased material to use in your classroom.

The Wall Street Journal’s High School Program is ready to help you offer students a trusted news source to bring current events and trends into your lesson plans. It offers the best of both worlds, print and online while teaching students to become better readers, writers, and problem solvers. Bonus: students can access The Wall Street Journal subscription resources from anywhere, so it doesn’t matter if you are learning in person or virtually.

What we like about the WSJ High School Program:

• Your ENTIRE high school gets unlimited article access to WSJ.com, which they can access from anywhere. Think about how useful it would be for different classroom lessons: social studies (What’s really going on in this part of the world? What would you do as a world leader?); science (insight into the latest research); technology (talk about the latest trends that excite these digital natives); and more.
• You can get print copies too. You can get print copies to use in classrooms, libraries, and common areas. At last! A chance to finally touch a newspaper!
• Teachers love it. “It was so helpful for our teachers and students to have home access to WSJ during remote learning in the spring,” says Sara, a teacher at Fort Worth Country Day School in Texas.
• You and your students get podcast and video access. Listen to compelling interviews with WSJ editors, industry experts, newsmakers, and current events influencers. Have students break into small groups to discuss the topic of the day and reconnect to reflect on points of interest, argument, or common ground.
• Free classroom guides and case studies let you make the most of the program. You’ll have direct access to tons of resources, which you can use to lead your classroom discussions on everything from business and IT to law and marketing. You’ll also find great ideas on how to assign articles and assess students from educators who have used the WSJ platform. Yes, you get to really dig in, too!
• Use an unbiased news source you can trust. Educators often feel the heat based on what news sources they decide to use in the classroom. Unbiased and factual current event representation is essential. Trust your source, and trust your decision with The Wall Street Journal.
