Register for this one-hour professional learning virtual event!

Teachers, we hope you’ll join us for our latest Virtual Professional Learning Series, Our Planet. In this three part series, we’ll use PBS’s recently broadcast show, Life from Above, as the basis for exploring new ways to teach students about our planet. In the show, cameras in space tell stories of life on our planet from a brand-new perspective, revealing its incredible movements, colors, patterns and just how fast it’s changing. We’ll use these learnings to help students think about what needs to be done to preserve the planet, and how they might reshape the future. This series will air in advance of Earth Day, with expert guests to answer your questions and PBS Digital Innovator All-Stars to supply plenty of lesson ideas for you to road-test and use this month and throughout the rest of the year.In the first episode of our three-part virtual professional learning series, Our Planet, we will explore spectacular satellite imagery from the PBS documentary, Life From Above. The stunning footage reveals never before seen details about our planet, and challenges us to assess the current state of our Planet. Educators will meet innovators who are trying to solve some of the greatest environmental challenges to our current planet, including Sahithi Pingali, one of the students featured in POV’s Inventing Tomorrow, and Justin Schaifer, a STEM educator and advocate. Tune in to this episode, hosted by PBS Digital Innovator All-Stars Sebastian Byers, Aaron Maurer and Sharon Clark, to find out how students, scientists, and educators can use Earth imagery to study our changing planet and advocate for a sustainable future. For educators, we will discuss how to bring films such as Life From Above, Inventing Tomorrow, and other PBS Learning Media resources into your classroom. PBS will provide a certificate of attendance for each one hour virtual professional learning event.Sign up for the rest of the series! <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-changing-planet-tickets-97396610885">Episode 2: Our Changing Planet</a><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-changing-planet-tickets-97396610885"></a><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/teaching-the-civil-war-through-a-new-lens-focus-on-technology-tickets-91364364273"></a>March 24 @7pm ET<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-future-planet-tickets-97397744275">Episode 3: Our Future Planet</a><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/our-future-planet-tickets-97397744275"></a><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/teaching-the-civil-war-through-a-new-lens-focus-on-the-arts-tickets-91365475597"></a>March 31 @7pm ET
