Education The TPT Learn team produced educational resources, including standards-aligned activities, discussion guides and engagement opportunities, which amplified the reach and sustainability of Legacy-funded projects among students, teachers, afterschool and community educators and families statewide.
In FY22, TPT added 24 new Legacy-funded teaching materials to the free PBS LearningMedia education platform.
Whenever appropriate, media and aligned resources were added to TPT’s collection of Minnesota-centric resources on PBS LearningMedia (pbslearningmedia.org), one of the state and nation’s leading online collection of media-enriched teaching and learning resources. The TPT Collection features media and aligned resources that are classified by History and Civics, Art and Culture and STEM. These categories respond to requests by Minnesota teachers, who have expressed distinct interest in and need for resources in these subject areas.
TPT’s Legacy-funded education resources on PBS LearningMedia garnered over 15,500 pageviews in FY22. To activate all newly created educational content, the TPT Learn team collaborated with subject matter experts and community partners
to craft culturally responsive programming aimed at enriching educators’ instructional approaches. Activation included virtual and in- person professional development workshops, screenings with expert panels, and other events that welcome all Minnesotans interested in using public media to teach, guide, learn and grow.
Educators shared in their 2022 MPTA Legacy Survey responses:
[TPT education programming] is very valuable as it provides education and knowledge and opportunity for people who otherwise might not be aware of the richness of arts, culture and history in Minnesota. Any educational opportunity that is easily accessed is a community treasure. I'm a former teacher and value education very highly. So important to have TPT’s education. If not for that, there might be no way for some people to have an opportunity for this diverse education that is provided by TPT. Don’t stop!! Educational in so many areas: history, science, nature and medical information as well as local and state information! Continue to emphasize the positive gains made in our community!
36% have used local public television programs, apps, or digital teaching guides with their students/children.
The TPT Learn Team also collaborates with the TPT Learn Advisory Board , comprised of 15 educators, parents, and leaders of community organizations. In their roles on the board, they provide insights about how to best create and share resources that are inclusive to students and communities, and useful to educators.
