WHRO has been serving local schools from its very beginning. Teachers from across Virginia have come to rely on us for our expertise, our extensive catalog of professional development courses, and for digital content they can use in the classroom.

We understand that teachers are busy, yet their dedication to students requires that they continually increase their skills. That’s where we can help! WHRO offers flexible, online professional development courses for PreK-12 educators through the PBS TeacherLine.

Teachers may choose facilitated or self-paced courses in the topics of science, reading, social studies, math, instructional strategies and instructional technology. They will interact with peers and experts in a virtual learning environment, and many courses offer the opportunity to earn graduate credits as well as professional development points and continuing education units.

"Whether you’re just beginning to use computers in your classroom or want to enhance existing skills, PBS TeacherLine offers the latest educational technology strategies to achieve your objectives," said Angela Franklin, WHRO education technology specialist. "With PBS TeacherLine you gain access to high-quality, research-based online courses for PreK–12 teachers and administrators."

PBS TeacherLine courses align with national standards developed by leading professional organizations. They are designed to benefit both beginning and experienced teachers, so participants walk away with practical information they can put to use the very next day in their classroom.

The wide variety of courses enables teachers to stay on top of the latest trends, learn best practices, and earn recertification points and graduate credit from the comfort of their homes.
