50th Anniversary of ATW to be Marked at NCSS National Convention
WXXI, the producer of Assignment: the World, will be hosting a presentation at the National Council for Social Studies convention for teachers who use ATW and those interested in learning about the venerable current events program made for students in the elementary grades. The presentation will take place at NCSS’s National Convention in Houston, November 14–16, 2008. The weekly Assignment: The World begins its 50th season in September, making it the longest running program for students in America. This event allows teachers to learn about how the program has evolved over five decades and to share their ideas about how to use the program in the classroom. ATW is available to any classroom via Internet streaming on the World Wide Web—contact AIT for information about school subscriptions.
