The Michigan Learning Channel is an exciting public television partnership that offers free 24-7 instructional content to support and extend classroom learning. Designed as an alternative resource for families, caregivers, and schools, the shows on the Michigan Learning Channel align with the instructional calendar throughout the school year and provide engaging summer content to help students continue to build their brains and grow their skills outside of the classroom. The Michigan Learning Channel’s goal is to provide an at-home link to classroom instruction and engage students in high-quality supplemental learning at no cost to schools, families, and caregivers.
The content is presented by a diverse group of primarily Michigan educators and is delivered as if the teacher is in a classroom setting. Each program aligns with MI educational standards and nearly every program has extension activities and resources for students and families.
