PBS Kid's Shows Prairie School Television Prairie School Television is a membership based program service brought to prairie education agencies through a partnership between public television and the North Central Council for School Television, providing its member schools instructional television and video series and other services to encourage the use of technology as a teaching tool in the classrooms. Prairie School programs air on Prairie Public and Lakeland Public daily on a daytime schedule and an overnight block feed schedule school days, September through May, for use directly off-air or for recording for use at a more convenient time and can be kept from year to year as long as the school retains its membership.
Videos are also available through the lending library or dubbing service.
Powerful Tools Television and video programs are in themselves powerful tools for enhancing effective teaching and learning when integrated into new or existing educational plans. The programs are designed and produced specifically for the classroom, shorter in length than general audience programs so the teacher can use them within class times and designed within state and national curricular standards. Over 1500 individual programs are available to member schools, covering all grade levels and curricular areas. Most instructional programs are accompanied by either print or online teacher guides that provide lesson plans and discussion questions and many programs have accompanying web sites with a broad range of teacher and student activities.
