Programming & Resources: Cable Initiatives
For more than 20 years, the cable industry has been providing educational tools and resources that help teachers, students and parents. In addition to TV programs, cable companies and networks have created a number of initiatives to engage learners, whether they’re children or adults. These include projects that get kids up and moving, learning and doing. Examples include creating videos, working with charities, competing in science challenges, and being inspired by a mentor.
Cable initiatives typically include print and online educational content, lesson plans, and sometimes games, competitions, and prizes. Cable companies have also honored outstanding teachers with national award programs contests and grants. A few examples of cable initiatives are included below.
