What teachers say about PBS
“The new PBS curriculum truly immersed my students into the
medical world. At every turn, they were playing the role of a medical
professional in order to help diagnose and treat their patient, Anna
Garcia. Centering the curriculum around Anna was a stroke of genius,
as it kept my students engaged from one activity to the next.”
“When other classrooms were still going through classroom
procedures and textbook scavenger hunts, my PBS kids were designing
experiments to analyze blood spatter patterns and solving crime
scene mystery through the process of DNA gel electrophoresis. This
new PBS sets the tone early that we’re here to do and learn and
produce.”
