The League for Innovation has recently partnered with The New York Times to offer League Alliance Members an opportunity to enhance curriculum and improve teaching and learning in the classroom.

The New York Times Is a Valuable Curriculum Enhancement
The New York Times has been valued by faculty for more than 70 years. Faculty recognize The New York Times as a valuable addition that supports course curriculum. Described as a “living textbook, The Times serves the critical role of helping connect classroom concept to everyday life. Once students understand the everyday relevance of their studies, it adds a new dimension to the overall learning experience. In addition, a daily habit of reading The Times supports critical thinking and good citizenship. There are even some faculty who have found The New York Times to be comprehensive enough to serve as the sole textbook for their course! In addition to the daily newspaper, The New York Times college website, www.nytimes.com/college, provides additional resources to enhance curriculum. Faculty can find teaching strategies and methodologies, as well as discipline-specific curriculum resources to help them successfully incorporate The Times into the curriculum. The Times is used by faculty across the curriculum, including English, Political Science, Business, History, Communications, First Year Seminar and Honors Courses, just to name a few.

The New York Times Provides Unique Resources for Faculty and Students
There are thousands of faculty representing various academic disciplines that have enhanced their course by incorporating The New York Times into their curriculum. At The Times college website, www.nytimes.com/college, faculty can take advantage of the many available resources designed to help them make effective use of the Times. For example, faculty can sign up to receive daily email alerts from the unique New York Times taxonomy search option, allowing them to select from 180 different academic subjects. When an article relevant to a selected topic appears in the newspaper, an email alert will be sent linking to that article. In addition, links to other articles related to the selected topic may be provided. In many instances these links might normally require a fee to access from The Times archives but will be available at no charge for faculty. This unique program allows faculty to be prepared to reference relevant news stories in class. The Times invites faculty to explore the teaching strategies, methodologies, projects and perspectives from colleagues nationwide that are posted on the site. Also available is The Times “Newsroom Navigator,” where students and faculty can research and access information on the internet, like The Times journalists do. All of this is available for free to support the use of The New York Times across the curriculum.
