KQED Mission Statement

KQED is for everyone who wants to be more. Our television, radio, digital media and educational services change lives for the better and help individuals and communities achieve their full potential.
 
KQED serves the people of Northern California with a community-supported alternative to commercial media. We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone; and engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive in 21st century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration—exposing them to new people, places and ideas.
 
We celebrate diversity, embrace innovation, value lifelong learning and partner with those who share our passion for public service.

KQED Education

Education is central to the mandate of public media. KQED Education fulfills this mandate by engaging educators in schools, colleges, universities, and informal learning environments and supporting their utilization of PBS and KQED content as a learning tool by:

· Producing high-quality digital learning objects--video and audio clips, interactive tools, and lesson plans that leverage and link to KQED’s high quality, multiplatform media content—that are aligned to state and national content standards;

· Distributing these resources via KQED’s website and other online platforms that include iTunes U and PBS LearningMedia, a service containing thousands of teaching assets from more than 1,500 producers and 350 PBS stations nationwide; and

· Training educators to use educational media and digital media tools in their learning environments through in-depth professional development opportunities and online training resources.
