TPT Leans into Learning T PT expanded its local education work through TPT Learn , a multifaceted initiative for Minnesota educators, parents, caregivers, and students. Guided by a community-based advisory board, TPT Learn offers culturally responsive, collaborative, and standards-aligned professional development for educators, hands-on programming for pre-K through grade 12 learners, and enrichment for parents and families.
An Eagan Librarian said, “The [CAMP TV] kits were gone within a day. Families love having something they can do together, and to feel like they’re part of PBS.”
REMOTE LEARNING When the pandemic hit, TPT reshaped its educational programming to support the new virtual learning environment. With summer camps and out-of-school programs cancelled, TPT offered multiple resources and programs to engage beyond school, such as “CAMP TV” and “Let’s Learn;” re-designed virtual professional development sessions for educators; and created more virtual events for families and children.
TPT’s content on PBSLearningMedia.org is now drawing 40,000-80,000 pageviews per month from educators in Minnesota and beyond. TOUGH CONVERSATIONS As educators and parents found themselves answering kids’ questions about race and racism, the TPT Learn team created a standards-aligned Educators’ Collection focused on systemic racism for PBS LearningMedia.
