PBS Educator Recognition Programs

PBS LearningMedia TEACHER AMBASSADORS

The PBS LearningMedia Teacher Ambassador program is a cohort of 12 social studies educators who have been recognized for their expertise and passion for bringing history to life for students in upper elementary through high school. In 2026, these  Teacher Ambassadors will showcase how they seamlessly integrate PBS LearningMedia social studies resources into their teaching, and inspire their students to engage with media in responsible, effective, and meaningful ways. During this historic Semiquincentennial, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, PBS LearningMedia Teacher Ambassadors will connect with their peers, school leadership, local PBS member stations, and other education community organizations to help bring renewed awareness and understanding of our shared history and spark civic conversation and engagement.
