Public TV offering ‘Learn-at-Home’ programs

“Learn-at-Home” programming is available to students through their local public television station.

This effort started March 23.

The partnership between the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and New York’s nine public television stations will offer PBS educational programming on-air for students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 every weekday.

Programming will be available for young children, pre-k through grade 4, and older children, grade 5 through grade 12, on different digital channels.

Material can be viewed for free over-the-air with a television antenna or on cable.

Parents and educators should check local listings for information about their public television stations’ schedules and channel lineup. As this program continues, stations are planning to offer more specific educational information and resources developed in conjunction with local school districts, BOCES, parents and teachers.

New special collections of learning materials have also been created for parents at PBSLearningMedia.org.
