Together Toolbox: Building an Accessible Multimedia Social-Emotional Learning Program with Rocky Mountain PBS

Do you have a place in your heart for Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood or Reading Rainbow? Let’s learn together about what content, learning goals, and strategies inspire the current generation of children through media with your local PBS Station – Rocky Mountain PBS KIDS! Then join us at the cusp of a possible new adventure with Healthy Child Care Colorado and The Discovery Source to establish infrastructure for a statewide multimedia social and emotional learning (SEL) program based on the Pyramid Model. This user-centered and accessibility-focused program will support Colorado’s Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) childcare providers to help them teach children ages 2–8 to regulate emotions, make new friends, and solve problems together. As practitioners and experts of the Pyramid Model, we would love your insights and feedback as we get started!
