Baltimore County Public School Teachers To Air Lessons On TV, YouTube During COVID-19 Pandemic
TOWSON, Md. (WJZ) -- Baltimore County Public Schools will air teacher-produced instructional content starting Wednesday, April 15 on television.
The content will air from Wednesday through Friday and can be viewed on BCPS-TV (Channel 73 on Comcast Xfinity and Channel 34 on Verizon FiOS) in Baltimore County and on the BCPS-TV YouTube channel.
"As this period of school closure was extended, we knew we wanted to exhaust every avenue to reach children," said Megan Shay, executive director of English Language Arts PreK-12 for BCPS.
This week the programming will focus on English language arts, mathematics, and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Programs vary from 10 to 22 minutes.
