Explore all PBS Wisconsin Education has to offer!

Did you know PBS Wisconsin Education has a digital newsletter? Stay up to date on all the resources they offer and see what ideas you can incorporate into your programming!

This is their most recent edition:


Infuse More Perspectives

Dear educators,

When you include diverse historical perspectives in what you're teaching, you open students' minds to new ideas and help them connect learning to their lives.

Enrich your curriculum with standards-aligned resources like: 

  • A new episode of The Look Back on Indigenous copperworking traditions
  • A lesson about the experiences of Black patriots during the Revolutionary War
  • Activities to explore the impacts of historical Black Americans

Then, celebrate Wisconsin students competing in the Madison Symphony Orchestra's Bolz Young Artist Competition.

Finally, don't forget to register for the America at 250 Educator Summit. Spaces are filling up!

Happy exploring!
