Current Events Course (9/12/25)


Jefferson County ESC

Virtual Learning Academy

Did you know the JCESC Virtual Learning Academy offers a Current Events course to students?

What is NewsDepth?

NewsDepth is a weekly digital series created by Ideastream Public Media that breaks down major news stories into engaging, teachable lessons. It also covers science, civics, Ohio history, and art, all aligned with Ohio's learning standards.

Educational Design & Engagement

Each episode encourages student interaction through letter writing and online polls, with standout responses featured on the show. The “A+” segment highlights creative student work and community contributions while supporting media literacy.


At VLA, we use this series as the foundation for our Current Events course, which includes multiple-choice, extended response, fill-in-the-blank, and feedback-based questions.
