Annenberg Learner is an online education platform best known for its free-to-watch courses and workshops for teachers. It provides online courses and teaching instructions on many subjects – for both students and teachers. Annenberg Learner also offers supplementary material for teachers and students, including interactive activities, homework and reviews to go along with lessons. Teachers are provided instructional objectives and activity overviews.
What you can do: Courses for students provide video lectures, a written lesson overview, in-class activity worksheets (like questions to answer while following along an instructional video) and homework (exercises and review questions). They include faculty guides for class activities and exercise answers for teachers.
Teachers are provided free workshops for their own professional development. These professional development courses help teachers learn how to better teach a class or subject. Each course displays several methods of teaching, i.e. visually, hands-on, example-based as well as multiple example problems where each may suit a particular student differently than another. They are offered by grade level.
