WI PBS Kids Community Learning Cohort Opportunity

 

Dear library staff serving children ages 2-8: PBS Wisconsin seeks to empower and elevate family and community learning engagement in Wisconsin libraries over the next year. We are excited to announce a new opportunity for you! Apply today to be a part of our first PBS KIDS Community Learning Cohort! PBS Wisconsin will select 15 public libraries to be a part of this initial cohort.

 

Participants will:  · Create a community of practice with fellow library staff around the state; · Receive training in the PBS KIDS family engagement model, which focuses on children ages 2 through 8; · Participate in monthly play-based, skill-building workshops between January and May; · Receive a $1,000 implementation grant and technical assistance from the PBS Wisconsin Education staff to support PBS KIDS program implementation during summer 2021; · Build confidence in the use of PBS KIDS digital media resources.

 

One library will be accepted per library system throughout the state. Applications will be selected based on service audience diversity and commitment to full program participation. Applications will be accepted from December 2 through December 11, 2020. Selected cohort members will be notified by December 30th. For the grant application, click here. Please send your questions to mouna.algahaithi@pbswisconsin.org.
