With Media Literacy Week coming up October 26-30 right before the Midterm Election, teacher thoughts understandably turn to current events and the best way to teach about them.

Take heart—KET has your back. This week KET is introducing the News Quiz Teacher Guide. This 12-page guide offers ideas on how to incorporate KET’s weekly current events program into the classroom—and even expand upon it.

Learning to think critically about current events is a skill students will need for the rest of their lives. The Teacher Guide features helpful tips on leading classroom discussion, encouraging reflection and comparing different perspectives on the news. 

And don’t miss the special Midterm Election episode of News Quiz now available on PBS LearningMedia.
