Learning for the Digital Age
Learning for the Digital Age is a professional development initiative for Ohio's K-12 administrators and teachers that explores the role of technology in supporting critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork and communication - the skills students need to be effective in today's classroom and tomorrow's workplace.
Upcoming Workshops
WVIZ/PBS's Educational Services Department provides a wide array of Professional Development workshops for educators in over 126 school districts in an eleven county area in Northeast Ohio. WVIZ/PBS technology workshops and services can be tailored to a district's individual needs and can be done in the labs of WVIZ/PBS, in your school district, or via Distance Learning. We have exceptional facilitators who can provide training in technology and its integration into the curriculum. Our Professional Development workshops cater to a range of technology abilities from the novice to the scholar and focus on many different learning and teaching styles. WVIZ/PBS provides the availability of graduate credit for workshops that meet university requirements.
Online Learning
The WVIZ Education Department provides educators with professional development opportunities in an accessible online format that makes learning fun, flexible, and collaborative.
Early Childhood
Our Early Childhood program is dedicated to improving the school readiness and educational success of young children through the use of public broadcasting and workshops for parents, childcare providers and early childhood professionals. We provide on air, online and print resources that assist parents and early childhood educators to prepare children for school success. Annually, WVIZ/PBS conducts numerous hands-on professional development workshops where participants receive free educational materials and resources including the Ohio Department of Education’s Early Learning Contents Standards and the Ohio Infant Toddler Guidelines. Additionally, each year hundreds of books are distributed to children that would not normally have books to call their own. Funding for the Early Childhood outreach department comes from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Child Care Bureau, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, BP and KCET A Place of Our Own/Los Ninos en Su Casa.
