KERA is lending a helping hand for those with students at home. The public media station announced it will launch a new lineup of curriculum-based TV programs for students in more than 120 school districts across North Texas starting on March 30.
The programs, crafted for students from pre-K to 12th grade, will be pared with free online digital resources that are aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards.
“North Texas families have relied on KERA for educational support for nearly 60 years,” says KERA President and CEO Nico Leone via press release. “As school closures present new challenges for children and educators alike, KERA is excited to expand our services, both on the air and online, and turn every home into a classroom.”
The programs will air weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on KERA TV and will cover English, language arts, social studies, science and math. The schedule will also stream online at KERA.org/Learn.
