What is Arizona PBS Educational Outreach & Community Impact?
We specialize in supporting educators and students in the classroom, and families at home by creating and connecting quality PBS educational content to national and common core state standards. We help our constituents improve student performance through evidence and research-based content that is relevant and engaging. We accomplish this through the power of noncommercial television, the Internet, radio, other media, outreach activities, and a variety of community-based initiatives.
Today, Arizona PBS Educational Outreach provides digital resources and face-to-face community outreach throughout the state including innovative research-based workshops for early childhood. As the educational arm of Arizona PBS Public Television, Arizona PBS Educational Outreach is a trusted PreK-16 resource that uses the most innovative educational technologies to enrich the lives of children, students, educators, caregivers and parents through quality outreach programs and services that educate, inform, and inspire.
Individual educators, schools and districts can become members of Arizona PBS and receive special educational discounts in addition to those offered by the station.
Supporting educators, child caregivers and parents since 1983.
Mission
Educational Outreach’s goal is to provide early childhood educators, caregivers and parents in the state of Arizona the most valuable and innovative tools for the children they teach and/or care for. Through quality outreach programs, teachers, caregivers, students and children alike can benefit from the resources given. Everything provided is up to par with the state and national educational standards.
About Us
The Educational Outreach team is comprised of many former teachers who have taught in Arizona classrooms. A portion of the team works as administrators, assisting early educators with professional development and higher education. The other part of the team goes out to the classrooms, care centers and homes to share the resources that are at their disposal.
