(SEE SCHEDULE O) 0 0 72752348 0 83349487 CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF EDUCATIONAL MEDIA SESAME WORKSHOP CREATES EDUCATIONAL CONTENT FOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN AND DISTRIBUTES THAT CONTENT IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD, ACROSS VARIOUS MEDIA PLATFORMS INCLUDING TELEVISION, DIGITAL STREAMING, ONLINE, RADIO, PRINT, MOBILE, AND HOME ENTERTAINMENT. THE CONTENT FOLLOWS A WHOLE CHILD CURRICULUM AND IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL, AND HEALTH NEEDS OF YOUNG CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY THOSE VULNERABLE TO EQUAL AND EARLY ACCESS TO PRESCHOOL LEARNING. SESAME WORKSHOP IS MOST WELL-KNOWN FOR ITS FLAGSHIP EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM "SESAME STREET." SESAME STREET'S SEASON 54 CURRICULUM CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON HELPING CHILDREN GROW UP WITH A HEALTHY SENSE OF SELF AND BELONGING AND DO SO IN CELEBRATION OF THEIR (CONTINUED IN SCHEDULE O) FAMILY AND COMMUNITY. THIS SEASON, YOUR SESAME STREET FRIENDS MODEL HOW THEY CELEBRATE THE DIFFERENCES AND EMBRACE THE SIMILARITIES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THROUGH FUN, UPLIFTING STORIES, CHILDREN WILL LEARN TO FEEL CONFIDENT, PROUD OF WHO THEY ARE, AND JOY IN CONNECTING WITH AND LEARNING ABOUT OTHERS. AS IN SEASON 53, THESE STORIES ACT AS MIRRORS THAT REFLECT THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, AS WINDOWS THAT OFFER THEM VIEWS TO SEE AND LEARN ABOUT OTHERS, AND AS SLIDING DOORS WHICH INVITE CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE IN NEW EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR SESAME FRIENDS! TOGETHER, THESE STORIES SUPPORT CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT OF A HEALTHY AND POSITIVE SENSE OF WHO THEY ARE, DEEPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF OTHERS, AND MODEL ACTING WITH KINDNESS, FAIRNESS, AND RESPECT. SESAME STREET IS DRIVEN BY A SCHOOL READINESS CURRICULUM WHICH IS TAUGHT THROUGH A PRESCHOOL FRIENDLY TOPIC. THE ADVANTAGE OF A TOPIC APPROACH IS THAT WE TELL STORIES THAT ARE MEANINGFUL AND RELEVANT TO YOUNG CHILDREN. BY KEEPING THE TOPIC CONSISTENT, IT PROVIDES A WHOLISTIC APPROACH TO THE HALF HOUR AND REDUCES COGNITIVE OVERLOAD FOR THE YOUNG VIEWERS WATCHING OUR FORMATTED SHOW THAT IS NOT STRUCTURED BY A SINGLE NARRATIVE. THIS APPROACH ALSO GIVES LANGUAGE TO THESE TOPICS, WHICH ARE CHILDREN'S SHARED EXPERIENCES.THE SHOW CURRENTLY BROADCASTS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY IN THE U.S. ON THE PUBLIC BROADCASTING SERVICE (PBS), WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE IN 98% OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH TELEVISIONS. IN ADDITION TO ITS PRESENCE ON PBS AND OTHER TELEVISION AND DIGITAL PLATFORMS, "SESAME STREET" VIDEOS, INTERACTIVE GAMES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL CONTENT ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE FOR USERS ON WWW.SESAMESTREET.ORG, WWW.PBSKIDS.ORG AND WWW.YOUTUBE.COM.
