Professional Development Workshops
Since 1973, PBS Western Reserve’s Department of Educational Services has been part of the statewide network of educational technology agencies providing training to educators throughout the state. Our Education Services department offers a wide range of professional learning opportunities to educators held here at our facilities as well as virtually. Services can be customized to a district's specific needs and held at your location or here onsite. We are currently building our upcoming schedule and will be posting it soon! Keep checking back as courses will be added.
Come spend a fun-filled day with Daniel Tiger!
With sponsorship from PNC Grow Up Great and Fred Rogers Productions, PBS Western Reserve presents Be My Neighbor Day at the OHWOW! Science Center in Youngstown on September 18th. Attendees will have the opportunity to take photos with Daniel, receive a book bag with school supplies and participate in fun activities! No registration is needed. We hope to see you there!
Do you run an afterschool program or
summer camp?
Ohio’s PBS stations, through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Education, are working with local summer and afterschool programs to address disruptions to learning caused during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Called Ohio Learns 360, this new initiative will provide families, afterschool and summer programs with PBS resources, including camps-in-a-box, virtual field trips, family webinars, interactive after school programs, and community events, all designed to accelerate student learning and support the state’s most vulnerable learners in kindergarten through fifth grade.

Stay connected for upcoming event listings and additional information!
