Join Us in Celebration! Twin Cities PBS’ exceptional education programming may be nothing new, but with an ever-changing media and education landscape, innovation and evolution are necessary. Looking towards the future, our new initiative will deepen our impact as we build our community of learning. Whether it’s watching one of our new shows on TV, downloading a classroom discussion guide, exploring our new website, or saying hello at one of our family events, we invite you all to join us and celebrate the new Center for Lifelong Learning at Twin Cities PBS.
community engages with our programs. With an extensive track record of providing greater access to our resources through a variety of platforms, we are launching a new website, TPTLearn.org. This one-stop shop for educators and anyone who enjoys learning allows users to explore our media and its aligned resources, as well as learn more about TPT’s upcoming community events. In addition, we will continue to create and upload curriculum onto PBS LearningMedia, an online platform where teachers can find free and standards-aligned resources from PBS stations across the country. Whether on-air or online, making our education resources easily accessible across many platforms will be a continued priority for our station. Engaging with Our Community: We know our impact is greater when we meet our community where they are. Building relationships with like-minded community partners is central to this strategy. Partnerships with libraries have been essential to the success of “Book Drop,” a new digital series that combines STEM and literacy skill development through read-alongs by STEM professionals. Teaming up with parks and recreation departments throughout the metro area has helped the TPT Learn Academies initiative reach over 8,000 students at our after-school events. Expanding library-based programming that welcomes families and all-comers, such as our Summer STEM events and Minnesota State Fair presence, will also continue to be an important way for us to meet our community. We look forward to deepening our relationships with partners that make our work with the community possible and look forward to building new connections.
