The Standard-Times News In Education program is providing a FREE online teacher workshop to help you maximize your classroom subscription of the newspaper while earning a certificate of completion for your own professional development.

Teaching with newspapers is a one-hour, online course that will give you tips on using the newspaper to teach language arts, math, science and social studies. Plus, you'll learn to match newspaper lessons to state standards. The course also includes several printable worksheets for using the newspaper in your classroom. After completing the course and the post-test, you can print a certificate of completion to receive continuing education credits.

You can take the entire course at your own pace. Take it all at once or just a bit at a time.
