EDUCATION
The PBS and Schools
Are you a teacher trying to get to grips with teaching
poetry in the classroom?
The PBS provides special Education memberships to
make it easier to teach poetry in class. The PBS Education
membership is for older students of 16+ and provides
teaching materials and all the facilities of full
membership, with the Choice sent four times a year,
together with teaching tips and posters. The Bulletin
review of the new poetry arrives every quarter and
members get a 25% discount on any books they order.

The PBS also runs the Children’s Poetry Bookshelf for 7-11 year-olds. The CPB Education membership provides
Primary school teachers with the best new children’s
poetry books three times a year. Teachers also get
child-friendly worksheets ready to use in class, and
teachers’ notes.
There’s a lively website www.childrenspoetrybookshelf.co.uk
with more resources, including a reading list for
teachers, and the CPB also runs the annual Old Possum's Children’s
Poetry Competition. In 2009 the Chair of the Judges will be Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy.
