GPB’s Education Outreach Team Helps Inspire Teachers Throughout the State

Since the beginning of this school year, members of GPB’s education outreach team have personally shared GPB’s trusted content with nearly 2,000 educators by providing free virtual and in-person professional learning opportunities throughout schools, districts, professional conferences and in partnership with like-minded service organizations.

The outreach team, which includes manager Tracey Wiley and specialists Dr. Kiawana Kennedy and Dr. Kimberly Stokes, travels the state in a dedicated effort to support Georgia’s educators with thousands of no-cost quality educational resources that are created, curated and distributed by GPB and our PBS partner stations nationwide.

The team finds increasingly creative ways to connect with more and more educators each school year to encourage and inspire them through GPB’s award-winning video series, games, lesson plans, comprehensive courses, virtual learning journeys and more.

“It’s been so rewarding to help establish and grow with GPB’s outreach team over these past seven years,” says GPB’s education outreach manager, Tracey Wiley, “Since I started at GPB in 2015, we have been able to share our content with more than 41,000 lifelong learners, and we continue to create new relationships and build on the ones we’ve made to date.”
