FRONTLINE Teacher Center

When it airs: Overnight schedule  

Grades 9-12, adults
New teacher's guides, an improved search function, and dozens of full-length documentaries available for viewing online are just a few of the highlights of the FRONTLINE Teacher Center.

Aimed at secondary school and college educators, the FRONTLINE Teacher Center is designed to help teachers use FRONTLINE documentaries as a launching point for classroom learning and discussion. Among the site's many offerings are more than thirty online teacher's guides, each written especially for use with one or more FRONTLINE films on diverse topics. Appropriate for use by a wide range of social studies, language arts, health, and media literacy educators, these valuable resources offer key background information and discussion-starter questions as well as suggested classroom activities that build upon the issues and themes explored in the documentaries.

The new FRONTLINE Teacher Center also enables teachers and students to view dozens of FRONTLINE films online via streaming video, with new documentaries added each month.
