This mandate is carried out chiefly by the funding and broad distribution of educational video programs with coordinated Web and print materials for the professional development of K-12 teachers. It is part of The Annenberg Foundation and advances the Foundation’s goal of encouraging the development of more effective ways to share ideas and knowledge. Annenberg Learner’s multimedia resources help teachers increase their expertise in their fields and assist them in improving their teaching methods.

All Annenberg Learner videos exemplify excellent teaching. Annenberg Learner resources can be accessed for free at Learner.org, or can be purchased through the Web site or by calling 1-800-LEARNER.”
