At Home Learning

As families and school aged children are forced to stay home during this COVID-19 health crisis, UNC-TV has created an amazing At Home Learning Initiative to support students, teachers, parents and caregivers.

The new solution is the addition of education and learning materials for grades 4 through 12. UNC-TV is providing content for those students with a robust schedule of programs designed to complement their schools’ existing virtual learning efforts. These free educational resources are designed to be used by parents, caregivers and educators and older students to help support and maintain learning during school closures. This multi-platform initiative includes Pre-K – 12 educational programming online and on air, as well as additional robust resources through PBS LearningMedia.

The educational programming block will be available over the air on the North Carolina Channel and streamed live at unctv.org/athomelearning. This vetted, curriculum-informed programming is available Monday-Friday, from 8 AM-1 PM, for grades four through eight, and from 1-6 PM, for grades nine through 12 (actual times may vary, please check the weekly schedule online at unctv.org/ahl). This is an evolving effort on the part of UNC-TV and NC D and will be adapted as needed over coming weeks to best serve the needs of North Carolina’s children.

“We are committed to helping our state’s students receive the best possible education,” said Joy Potts, director of UNC-TV’s Children’s Media & Education Services. “With a foundation in instructional media and 65 years of experience, we are uniquely positioned to assist North Carolina’s public schools and students during this unprecedented time in our lives.”
