Request for Proposals to assess, align, and integrate Ready to Learn digital media products and services into early childhood education

CPB Ready To Learn Statewide Planning Agreements will provide funding to public broadcasting stations to work in collaboration with state education agencies to assess, align, and integrate research-tested and curriculum-based RTL products and services into early childhood education. This funding opportunity will enable a partnership between Stations and State Education Agencies to design, pilot and execute an initial plan for integrating RTL digital media reading resources into Pre-K through second grade classrooms, and in other learning environments, (e.g., formal and informal child care settings; before and after school programs, etc.). The RTL products and services will be made available to implement throughout the state during the one-year agreement cycle.

A one-year planning agreement of up to $50,000 will be awarded to up to five stations with state educational agency partnerships. A collaboration between state education agency (or agencies) and the designated public media stations is essential.
