-WTIU-Indiana University

Elementary school program (ideally 8-12yo) and college program (affiliated with university)

Launching high school program by December 2009

Also run young learning lab and summer camp program

Kids work with program/content manager to brainstorm ideas for content

Benefits: different perspectives on topics, subject matter

seed money mainly from university, university provides about 30% of funding, remainder from corporation and foundation grants (main expense was cost of dedicated program manager for 15 weeks)

Kids-produced show: http://www.fridayzone.org/index.shtml

(check the FAQ for specific info about the program production)

based on ReadytoLearn workshop model

topics related to state education standards

 

Some cited concerns:

Privacy - WTIU & WXXI have parents sign a very broad release. Generally not a problem as the kind of kids they work with all want to be on TV.

Licensing & copyright - Creative Commons vs. a plethora of other licensing structures still being used by composers, directors, etc. Holistic approach seems to be best.

3 Fs: Followthru, funding and feedback - everyone participating said they had no way to track if the shows were popular. Pledge drives for children's content generally don't work - most stations didn't bother pledging for kids' content.

 

Advice for setting up your own apprenticeship model:

-make the project well-thought out and planned for SUSTAINIBILITY

- leadership continuity
