The New York Times Learning Network is a free service for students in grades 6-12, their teachers and parents. The site is updated Monday through Friday throughout the school year. Students can read the day's top stories using Knowledge Tools, take a news quiz, write a letter to the editor, or ask a reporter a question. Teachers can access a daily lesson plan written in partnership with The Bank Street College of Education in New York City. Each lesson plan and the article it references can be printed out for classroom use.
Previous lessons are available in the archive.
Educators can also read the latest education news from the newspaper. Parents can join an online discussion, read a recent product review or participate with their children in the activities in the student section. In addition, visitors can browse Navigator, our list of recommended Web sites, access special news indexes on both current and historic events, or take a look back at a historic New York Times front page in the On This Day section Graduate School Guide Simple, bare-bones guide to grad schools has a pretty complete listing of colleges and universities. Search by major, location, or school name. The Internet and Classrooms A good teacher can do better lessons on a chalkboard than a bad teacher with the latest technology.
