A new school year brings new students and plenty of preparation. As Oklahoma educators welcome students back to the classroom, they deserve resources that support the important work ahead.

Through PBS LearningMedia, teachers can access free videos, interactive lessons, lesson plans and printable materials for a variety of subjects and grade levels.

To the educators using these tools: thank you for allowing OETA to be part of your classroom this school year.

Some learn by watching. Some learn by listening. Some need to move, play, repeat or ask lots of questions. Accessible educational media gives families more ways to find what works for their children. 📚

OETA is grateful to be one of the resources Oklahoma families can turn to.

What is your family's favorite way to learn?
