Increasing the Impact of Native Content Beyond the Broadcast

Vision Maker Media works with qualified educators to develop grade appropriate materials (using core curricula standards) for classroom use. Viewer guides are also developed for use by general audiences and/or in community screenings. We welcome you to explore our catalog where you will find resources that allow for further discussion and learning in the classroom around many of our programs.

When programs feature distinct locations and cultures, Vision Maker Media works with PBS-member stations to engage their audiences and to package and deliver programs to PBS LearningMedia. PBS LearningMedia is the go-to destination for instant access to tens of thousands of classroom-ready, digital resources. Best of all, PBS LearningMedia is free for educators.
