Annenberg Learner
Our mission is to advance excellent teaching in American schools through the development and distribution of multimedia resources for teaching and learning. We are a division of the Annenberg Foundation, which funds a wide range of programs in education and other areas.
Annenberg Learner funds and distributes more than 100 multimedia courses and workshops to help teachers keep current on the content they teach. Professional development resources provide teachers with research on the most effective teaching strategies along with their connection to national education content standards, and examples of these principles applied in real classrooms. The video components are paired with extensive Web sites that include online texts, course and workshop guides, and extensive background information to enhance the learning experience. Using these resources, teachers can learn from experts, other teachers, and even students who reveal their unique interpretations of the content.
Teachers also can earn graduate education credit using these resources through Colorado State University for a low tuition fee. We also make the resources available at no cost to individual learners through our Web site, Learner.org. The DVDs and guides can be purchased in hard copy format through Learner.org and 1-800-LEARNER.

What homeschoolers say about Annenberg Learner
Homeschool families appreciate Annenberg Learner for its well-produced, engaging video content that supports subjects like Spanish, science, and film studies. Their materials often require active parental involvement to guide lessons and discussions, which some find rewarding but others see as a significant time investment. While the content is generally rigorous and academically sound, some users note that the presentation can feel dated and less interactive compared to newer digital resources. Overall, Annenberg Learner is valued for supplementing curriculum with rich, multimedia lessons, though it may not serve as a standalone program for all learners.
