The PBS KIDS Educator and Community Learning professional workshop series is designed for educators of children ages 3-8. This session will lay a foundation for educators to consider the importance of guided playful learning and introduces how PBS KIDS content can support early learning objectives and knowledge goals when integrated into playful learning experiences. Educators actively learn and play together with digital and non-digital tools, provided for educators to construct and share their own understanding of how the teaching strategies and PBS KIDS resources support children’s learning and development. Educators will leave the session with new digital resources from PBS KIDS and ideas for how they can put their learning into practice.
