K-12 Classroom Services

K-12 Classroom Services connect the PBS children's and primetime programming to curriculum for instructional use by teachers.

  • The Channel 5 Educational Resource Calendar published monthly from August through June, is distributed to more than 5,500 teachers in Washoe, Lyon, Storey, Carson, Mineral, Pershing, Douglas, and Churchill Counties.
  • Channel 5 late-night block broadcasts offer more than 400 hours of specific educational programming in "block feed" style during overnight hours to encourage easy educator taping for classroom use.
  • Local productions including The Nevada Experience and the ArtBeat artist short features have been packaged into Educators' Kits including time-coded videotapes and print teachers' guides.
  • The 200th episode of The Nevada Experience, "Hope and Luck," includes educators' materials on the KNPB website.
  • Earlier Educator Kits are available for purchase in the Channel 5 Video Catalog.
  • Updated information about copyright and fair standards usage informs teachers of legal issues regarding technology-based resources.

Professional Development for K-12 Teachers includes the popular annual National Teacher Training Institutes. In addition, Channel 5 offers participation in the PBS Literacy Link program as well as its subsidiary service Workplace Essential Skills.
