Standards Based
PBS TeacherLine provides facilitated, online courses that explore pedagogical issues in math, reading and technology integration. Courses are designed to meet the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Through weekly online discussions with other teachers, streaming video, slides, animations, simulations, and applets, these courses allow educators to experience interactive learning and discover new approaches and techniques. Module assignments encourage teachers to implement what they learn, as they learn it, merging theory with real-life scenarios and exemplary internet-based resources.
Learning Communities
A hallmark of PBS TeacherLine courses is bringing participants together as a learning community. Teachers collaborate online to learn the strategies that exemplary educators use in their own classrooms to promote increased student achievement. Participants engage in weekly activities and online discussions to translate the research into practice in their own classrooms. Top educators facilitate courses and are trained to build strong online communities. Participants discuss teaching strategies, student misconceptions, and other current issues in their fields. Teachers learn not only from their facilitators but from each other.
