What started a week ago as a phone call between the Los Angeles Unified School District superintendent and the leader of the city’s flagship PBS stations has quickly turned into a massive at-…
Both sides wasted no time springing into action. By March 12, a day before beforeconfirmed that students would be sent home and taught via remote learning, PBS SoCal and KCET announced an unprecedented plan to program its two channels, plus KLCS, during he day with educational programs and resources.
“At public media, we’ve always supported teacher-based learning, classroom-based learning and so educational service to he home is really not what we’ve been doing. But we had a lot of resources, media resources to tap,” Russell said. “In LAUSD’s case, 25 percent of their students would not have any online access. And also we realized that for students that might have some online access, that may be diminishing as parents start working from home.
Among shows adapted for the service: “Nova” for middle schoolers; Ken Burns’ “The Civil War” for high school, and PBS Kids series “Peg + Cat” and “Cyberchase” for early elementary school kids. Meanwhile, At-Home Learning launched on Monday with a handful of interstitials between programs, but PBS SoCal/KCET is also quickly producing intros and outros to shows in order to frame the instructional elements of these shows.
Other PBS stations in California and across the nation are now following the PBS SoCal/KCET plan, including Sacramento’s PBS station, which launched a similar service on Monday. “Many PBS stations are following the California partnership closely and thinking about the services they provide, their community needs, and how they can do something similar,” a PBS spokesperson said. “More partnership announcements will be rolling out over the coming days.
