This study allows K-12 educators to integrate Natural History into their teaching, making connections students can relate to anywhere in the world. Award-winning “NatureScene” programs provide a rich, up-close experience with unprecedented access and exceptional photography. Naturalist Mancke conveys additional information in separate segments to extend, reinforce and connect. (Recommended for teachers of all grade levels, all subject areas)

Between the Waters: History Across the Curriculum at Hobcaw Barony, Series I and Series II*
These innovative courses provide engaging ways to integrate history using SCETV’s immersive website Between the Waters. Series I walks participants through the site, guiding an exploration of Hobcaw Barony’s history from Native American life through slavery, Reconstruction and both World Wars by examining focus sites on topics including food, hunting, sports, architecture, religion, art, and nature. Educators must complete first BTW, Series I course before taking the second course. Series II continues the exploration the BTW website to explore the history and natural history of this Georgetown treasure, examining other focus sites with a concentration on African-American life in the low country area of our state. “Hobcaw Witness” interviews and historical footage provide a rich history. (*NOTE: Educators MUST complete BTW, Series I course prior to taking Series II. You may sign up for BOTH courses in a session, but complete Series I first!) (Recommended for teachers of grades 3-12, all subject areas)
Teaching and Learning in Carolina Classrooms, Series I and Series II
Teaching and learning today is much more than the traditional lecture-based classroom. Teachers are the facilitators of learning and must be learners themselves. The ETV/PBS programs share messages of courage in education – to take risks, to advocate, to lead, and to share ideas. Series I topics include: teacher training and retention, digital literacy, education options, college/career readiness for all students. Series II include: recruiting and supporting teachers, bullying and suicide prevention, science education and careers, adult education, and using digital media to create classroom lessons. In both courses, we’ll meet recent SC Teacher of the Year finalists. Similar to the popular SC Teachers on Teaching courses. (Recommended for teachers of all grades/all subject areas - classroom & special area teachers, media specialists, guidance professionals, administration)
Connecting with Literacy Through Storytelling
Storytelling should be part of a student’s educational experience because it is a literacy activity, a listening activity and a means of appreciating cultural diversity! In this course, now a favorite with SC educators since added in 2018, renowned storytellers from across our nation share selections of stories from folk tales to animal tales to their own creations. Interviewed by SCETV, the tellers share information on the storytelling process and provide useful tips. And, they each demonstrate good storytelling techniques that both teachers and students can emulate. (Recommended for teachers of all grade levels, all subject areas)
