ABOUT THE SERIES: DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION

How to Take Part

Viewing the Workshops
These workshops are FREE. Consult the media specialist in your school, district, college, or university to find out if you have the ability to receive the Annenberg Channel. Also, some public access cable stations and public television stations offer the Channel's programs to their communities, so if your location does not have the equipment, check with your local stations.

We encourage teachers to participate in these workshops in groups. Each 2-hour workshop will consist of a 30-minute preliminary discussion, a 60-minute televised broadcast, and a 30-minute concluding discussion. Participants may schedule their 2-hour workshop around a direct broadcast, or may tape the broadcasts and schedule the workshops at a more convenient time during the same week.

Receiving Graduate Credit
Teachers who participate in the entire workshop series are eligible for two graduate credits from Colorado State University. Certificates of participation are available at no cost. Contact the Channel for information.

Hosting a Site
We are looking for SITE LEADERS to host viewing sites. If you are interested in organizing a workshop site in your school or district, please call the channel at 800-228-8030.
