To help ensure that the nation's growing audience of homeschooled children have access to top educational resources, PBS has established a strategic alliance with leading publication Homeschooling Parent magazine, in which each issue will highlight lesson plans and curriculum materials on PBS TeacherSource, PBS' Web site devoted to preK-12 educators. Analysts estimate there were more than 2 million homeschooled children in the United States during the 2003-2004 school year, and the educators in those homes have a consistent need for trusted, high-quality and easily accessible materials covering a broad array of grade levels and subjects.PBS TeacherSource (pbs.org/teachersource) extends the educational value of PBS' award-winning television programming by helping educators learn effective ways to incorporate digital media into instruction. TeacherSource includes more than 4,500 free lesson plans and online activities – all correlated to more than 230 sets of national and state curriculum standards."Homeschoolers are a critical audience for PBS," said Mary Kadera, director, PBS TeacherSource, "and based on e-mails and other feedback PBS and our local stations have received, they want to know the best ways to incorporate PBS educational resources into their lessons.
