National Geographic Channel and National Geographic School Publishing Respond
to Critical Need for Student Continuity of Learning During Flu Season
National Geographic School Publishing is committed to helping you improve
education and promote the success of your students.
We invite you to share this announcement with parents and district
leaders alike.
Working together, we can successfully reach and teach all students.
National Geographic Channel and National Geographic School Publishing are
responding to the urgent call of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to
provide continuity of learning to keep students, sick or well, engaged in
meaningful education activities if they are kept home during flu season.
To help address the needs of students who will be impacted, National
Geographic Channel and National Geographic School Publishing are providing a
special programming block and free education resources that will be made
available during what is expected to be peak flu season. Beginning November
9th, National Geographic Channel will air two-hour programming blocks from
11am -1pm ET, weekdays, over a six-week period. All programming is G-rated
and culled from the network's award winning specials and ongoing series
including Explorer, Naked Science, and Wild Spaces.
For those who do not subscribe to the National Geographic Channel, over half
of the programs to be shown on air will also be made available anytime online
via the NGSP continuity of learning portal, National Geographic Home Zone:
www.NGSP.com/homezone, and at www.natgeotv.com/education .
All programs in this block are complemented with free web-based activity
guides and resources provided by National Geographic School Publishing. The
educational materials are suitable for elementary, middle school and high
school students, and applicable to science, social studies and other
disciplines. The free web-based activity guides and resources materials are
available at the Home Zone website.
