Innovation Challenge
Are you an innovative educator? Take the PBS Teachers Innovation Challenge and share how your inventive ideas inspire and engage your students. For more information or to enter the challenge, visit PBS Teachers. As part of your entry, you’ll need to submit a photograph or video documenting your innovative teaching. If you use PBS resources as part of your teaching, that’s a plus, but it’s not required.
The deadline for entering is March 12, 2010. Winners will be announced April 5, and winning entries will be featured on the PBS Teachers Web site. If you have questions or need assistance with your entry, please contact your KET Education Consultant.
