Join PBS Wisconsin and Retro Report as we provide just-in-time resources for election season and beyond! We will feature free media and educational materials designed to help middle and high school students:

• Understand foundational ideas and the complexities of our government
• Build critical thinking skills
• Become more informed and engaged citizens

These materials highlight essential skills and strategies for civic engagement and media literacy that have value far beyond the classroom.

This webinar will feature some of the new civics and media literacy resources that have been developed for 6th-12th grade teachers, including the comprehensive Civics collection and specific resources like Citizen Nation’s Civics Skills series and the Be Media Wise series.

 Although hip-hop has become an undeniable force in society, some educators may not have the background or comfort level to integrate it into their classrooms. Using PBS content as a guide, this session will help educators learn more about hip-hop music and culture, including its connection to U.S. history and social justice. Educators will also be introduced to free, standards-aligned resources to use with students, integrating material across grade bands and content areas.

 Learning about the outdoor spaces around us can happen across all seasons, whatever the weather, with educational media from PBS Wisconsin. Join us as we explore stories, lesson plans, and activities for early learners through high school to expand ideas about how we interact with our environment.

Join PBS Wisconsin Education virtually or in person for the 2024 Youngstar Pathways to Connect Conference. We will provide information in the online exhibiting space, and in-person exhibiting at Hilton Milwaukee City Center.

Stories connect us; they illuminate experiences, support sense-making, and guide us as we work together to solve problems. PBS Wisconsin Education gets that and makes free-to-use multimedia collections that infuse the stories of people who have and are continuing to change our state and world. This session will spotlight those resources and the opportunities to bring them into program spaces and engage learners in making connections with the adults in their programs and communities and exploring new possibilities.
