The Fred Rogers Center

EDUCATORS’ NEIGHBORHOOD

Educators’ Neighborhood is a community of educators who learn together inspired from the life and work of Fred Rogers. We study episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, read from the Fred Rogers Center archive, and connect ideas to our daily practice with young children.

We define “educator” broadly to include all helpers who work in the service of children’s learning and care (formal and informal educators, care providers, therapists, librarians, museum docents, tutors, coaches, and others).

EDUCATORS’ SYMPOSIUM 2021

July 20-21, 2021

You’re invited to our inaugural Fred Rogers Center Educators’ Symposium where we will gather (online) to learn from the life and work of Fred Rogers and find ways to apply our learning into our practices with children, families, and educators.

This two-day learning experience, anchored in archival and community resources of the Fred Rogers Center, will be full of collaboration, stories, inspiration, and joy.
