PBS TeacherLine Helps Districts Meet Their Goals
PBS is synonymous with quality programming that both inspires and informs. And educators trust PBS to deliver high-quality, standards- and research-based professional development. By partnering with PBS TeacherLine, you can provide your teachers and instructional coaches with superior professional development, while achieving your district's strategic goals.
Augment Your Instructional Coaching Efforts
When school and district leadership teams make the decision to invest in an instructional coaching initiative, efficiency, consistency and effectiveness are priorities. PBS TeacherLine Peer Connection addresses those priorities by providing essential tools that give coaches powerful ways to search, save and share resources...all while giving teachers access to award-winning content from PBS TeacherLine within a structured, supportive environment.
Provide Your Teachers with High Quality Professional Development Courses
PBS TeacherLine offers more than 130 graduate level facilitated, online courses for teachers that span the entire curriculum: Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Instructional Technology, Instructional Strategies, and Science.
Enroll One or More Teachers:
Individual teachers may have professional development needs that are unique within the district, such as a course in linear functions that only a couple of teachers in a district may teach. You can enroll one or a group of teachers in a variety of courses and pay by purchase order. Just browse our catalog for currently offered courses and choose the right ones for your staff. Then you can download and complete this purchase order form to complete their enrollment. Your teachers will receive confirmation of their enrollment and further instructions via e-mail, and you will be invoiced after courses commence.
Provide Choice:
You can order a block of seats in one course, a selection of specific courses, or our entire catalog of current offerings and allow your teachers and staff to select the professional development opportunity that meets their needs using a special promotion code associated with your account.
Please contact your local PBS TeacherLine station or our call our sales department at 800-572-6386 to inquire.
Provide Standardization:
Enroll a cohort of educators in a private course that meets your school or district's strategic objectives—such as incorporating curriculum mapping in induction—without the need for in-service days or substitute teachers. Private courses can be further customized to meet the needs of your school or district.
Contact your local PBS TeacherLine station to set up a private course, or contact PBS National at 800-572-3686 if there is no local provider in your area.
Expand Your Existing Professional Development Offerings:
If your district has already invested in a system to deliver online professional development and you need a source for quality course content, our licensing program allows you to offer courses that are actively engaging, relevant, standards-based, and focused on classroom practice—while standardizing your district's faculty development programs. When you work with PBS TeacherLine to license courses, you're getting a total solution that includes powerful course content with all usage permissions in place, strategic course design, and workloads and assignments that have been pre-tested and perfected by educators across the country, allowing you to deliver quality staff development within tight budget constraints. Our award-winning lineup of online courses is widely respected and our enrollment numbers continue to grow.
