Teacher Tools
News-O-Matic's teacher tools are designed specifically to enhance classrooms with time-saving features and resources that coordinate smoothly with the curriculum. Teachers are able to create assignments, track student progress, download guides & lesson plans, change Lexile® levels, access discussion prompts, and many more.
Standards Alignment
News-O-Matic articles are correlated to state and national standards in the subject areas of ELA, Science, Social Studies, and SEL (where applicable). State-specific standards and Common Core, NGSS, NCSS, and TEKS standards are all included in standard alignments.
Assignments
Teachers can create assignments for an entire class, a single user, or a selection of users. This feature allows customization with multiple articles, MCQs, and open-ended questions.
