Local vs. National Courses

Courses are offered “locally” to North Dakota and Minnesota educators through Prairie Public, and “nationally” through PBS. The course content is the same for both providers; however, courses offered by Prairie Public feature a regional facilitator and allow for a more regional emphasis.

You can pay for local and national courses online through the PBS TeacherLine website. If your district is paying for the course or you prefer to pay with a check, please contact Prairie Public Education Services.
