Educators
Arkansas PBS is here to help support educators and education here in Arkansas.
Back to School
This school year looks different for all of us. To help families, teachers and students, Arkansas PBS and PBS KIDS has resources to help us work together to bolster our children’s feelings of confidence and security. Find ways to create and practice routines, cope with anxieties and emotions, find games and ways to learn at home.
Visit PBS Parents pbs.org for downloadable resources such as checklists, planners and information on routines and learning at home.
