Season 49 Curriculum The 49th season of Sesame Street explores a “Learning Through Play” curriculum that models how children can build school readiness skills as they embody different career roles during play. If kids can see it, they can play it, they can be it! Spotlighting the power of guided pretend-play, the season shows how kids can get more out of playtime with a bit of planning and guidance from helpful adults – and from one another, too. In each episode, the Sesame Street gang learns about a new career in a hands-on way as they pretend to be bus drivers, chefs, directors, doctors, and more. Each pretend-play session is complete with homemade props and scenery made from everyday objects, modeling a vital play skill for kids at home. Simple career-oriented play is common among children, but when kids feel empowered to plan their own play, playing “restaurant” or “train” can turn into an opportunity to foster both academic and social-emotional skills. “Children learn best through play because they are actively engaged in joyful and meaningful activities that can be also be socially interactive and iterative,” said Dr. Rosemarie Truglio, SVP Content and Curriculum, Sesame Workshop. "It is through their play that kids learn to collaborate, self-regulate, communicate, and empathize with peers, motivated by their own interests and curiosities." By focusing on career-based pretend play, this year’s curriculum will help children develop critical life skills and imagine new paths for themselves. Whether they’re building a school bus out of cardboard boxes or creating their own newspaper about life on Sesame Street, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby and friends model how – with a little help! – children can start to see themselves in exciting futures while having fun together. In line with the new curriculum, the season will start with a new primetime special that puts a madcap spin on pretend-playing different careers. Also debuting this season is “Abby’s Amazing Adventures,” a new animated segment starring Abby Cadabby and her stepbrother Rudy that shows how girls can take on many roles and be anything they want to be. .

The trailer can be viewed here. Directed by Marilyn Agrelo (Mad Hot Ballroom) and produced by Trevor Crafts (Experimenter 2015) and Ellen Scherer Crafts, the documentary chronicles the improbable origins and expansion of the groundbreaking show that not only changed children’s television programming, but had real-world effects on equality, education, and representation worldwide. The film is inspired by Michael Davis’ New York Times best-selling book of the same name. After world premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, STREET GANG: HOW WE GOT TO SESAME STREET will be released in theaters on April 23, 2021 and on video-on-demand platforms on May 7, 2021. Inspired by the activism of the late 1960s, socially conscious television executive Joan Ganz Cooney and Sesame Workshop co-founder Lloyd Morrisett conducted a revolutionary experiment: to harness the burgeoning power of television and create an educational, impactful, uplifting and entertaining show that could reach children nationwide, especially those living in urban areas. Cooney recruited trailblazing Muppets creator Jim Henson and acclaimed children’s television writer and director Jon Stone to craft the iconic and beloved world of “Sesame Street.” STREET GANG: HOW WE GOT TO SESAME STREET reintroduces this visionary “gang” of mission-driven artists, writers, and educators that audaciously interpreted radical changes in society and created one of most influential and impactful television programs in history.

Big Bird and the Sesame Street Gang: Triumphs in Educational Television
Big Bird and the Sesame Street Gang: Triumphs in Educational Television Group Exhibit Mrs. McAndrews - House M Mrs. Roper - House H Mrs. Wheeler - House S When Sesame Street became the first educational television show for children, it closed tragically growing achievement gaps; its triumphs led to greater acceptance of our nation’s diversity and established a worldwide legacy of high quality children’s television. Although I have few vivid memories of early childhood, I distinctly recall learning letters with Big Bird, reciting numbers with The Count, and discovering the rules of friendship with Grover, Oscar, and the whole Sesame Street gang. At some point, I outgrew the show but was still secretly excited for opportunities to watch a few episodes with my younger siblings. Recently I saw a short documentary about how Sesame Street was a ground-breaking educational television show. I was intrigued. When NHD came around, I knew that Sesame Street was the perfect topic for me. Once I chose my topic, I gathered research at the school, local, and University of Wisconsin-La Crosse libraries. I found books, magazines, videos, and newspaper articles in print and online that highlighted the many perspectives about Sesame Street. Some of my best sources were interviews with cast members and muppeteers that I found in the Archive for American Television. The interviews covered a wide range of topics that helped me to better understand the diversity, challenges, and educational goals from the point of view of those who were most closely related to the show. During my research, I was reminded that the characters of Sesame Street are recognized and loved around the world and would create an immediate connection between my project and my audience.

Elmo Everywhere: a Critical Analysis of Glocalization Marissa Doshi Hope College, [email protected]
Teaching Media Quarterly Volume 5 Article 3 Issue 1 Critical Lessons on Media Industries 2017 Elmo Everywhere: A Critical Analysis of Glocalization Marissa Doshi Hope College, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://pubs.lib.umn.edu/tmq Recommended Citation Doshi, Marissa. "Elmo Everywhere: A Critical Analysis of Glocalization." Teaching Media Quarterly 5, no. 1 (2017). http://pubs.lib.umn.edu/tmq/vol5/iss1/3 Teaching Media Quarterly is published by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. Doshi: Elmo Everywhere Elmo Everywhere: A Critical Analysis of Glocalization Overview Adaptations of Sesame Street, the popular American children’s entertainment-education program, are broadcast in approximately 150 countries. These adaptations, which feature Muppets and story lines that are adapted to each country’s cultural context and development needs, are the result of collaborations between the American company, Sesame Street Workshop, and local governments and/or local media companies. However, the spread of Sesame Street beyond the United States is not a recent phenomenon. For example, the Muppets landed in Brazil (Vila Sésamo) in the 70s and in China, (Big Bird Looks at the World) in the 80s. Sesame Workshop reports that these local versions have been immensely successful as forms of entertainment education (Sesame Workshop. org). For example, a 2009 Associates for Community and Population Research (ACPR) report indicates that viewing Sisimpur (Bangladeshi version) has accelerated the development of literacy and math skills among Bangladeshi children (Lee, 2009), and viewers of Kilimani Sesame (Tanzania’s version of Sesame Street) have a better understanding of malaria transmission prevention after watching the show (Borzekowski and Macha, 2010).

The Street That Changed Everything
The Street That Changed Everything Hailey Cisneros, Mikaela Johnson, Christian Kilgore, Gabriel Perez Senior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 483 words Process Paper Beginning this school year, our group was determined to choose a topic that was unique for our National History Day project. It had to fit the theme, but also resonate with the judges. After exploring a variety of subjects like Soul Train and Amnesty International, our group concluded that the well known and loved television show Sesame Street was perfect. For 50 years, Sesame Street has taught children all around the world lessons such as math, science, language skills, building self esteem, and acceptance with their widely diverse cast and mission team. Sesame Street continues to make higher education their goal, as children are the future. Our initial research began online. With Sesame Street being televised there were many photos and videos, making a documentary the best way to display this topic. We then took a trip to a local university, where we found significant books such as Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis and Children and Television: Lessons from Sesame Street by Gerald S. Lesser. We also conducted around 20 interviews with people of various backgrounds related to Sesame Street. Some examples being professors in Early Childhood Education, members of the Sesame Workshop, and political representatives. Our first interview with Jodi Nussbaum, Vice President of Sesame Workshop was our most impactful interview, as she has worked with Sesame Workshop for the past 27 years. She explained key steps in the process of creating a show, the research and collaboration, and what the future holds for Sesame Street.

Sesame Street Around the Wo
ONE LINCOLN PLAZA NEWYORK.N.Y10O23/TELEPHONE (212) 595-3466 w 1^ SESAME STREET AROUND THE WO: You do not have to be a child to know Bert and Ernie, Kermit and the rest of the SESAME STREET gang. Thanks to a burgeoning number of international SESAME STREET joint productions, children and their parents all over the world are watching the goings-on on SESAME STREET or, more to the point, on VILA SESAMO in Brazil, on PLAZA SESAMO in Spanish-speaking Latin America, on 1 RUE SESAME in France, on SESAMSTRAAT in Holland, on SESAMSTRASSE in Germany, on IFTAH YA SIMSIM in the Arabian Gulf States, and on BARRIO SESAMO in Spain. Adapting SESAME STREET r%r a score of divergent cultures is more challenging than simply dubbing Oscar's discourses into Swedish or Italian. It is no exaggeration to say that the worldwide adaptation of SESAME STREET is the most audacious and complex project of its kind ever attempted. SESAME STREET changed the face of American television for children starting in 1969. Three years later two adaptations of SESAME STREET were broadcast: PLAZA SESAMO (produced in Mexico for broadcast all over Spanish-speaking Latin America) and VILA SESAMO (intended for Portuguese-speaking Brazil) were first broadcast in 1972. Both were astonishingly successful. CABLE: SESAMEST NEWYORK/TWX 710-581-2543/RCA 236168 During the eight years since, the SESAME STREET message has spread. Children's Television Workshop—the creators of the original SESAME STREET as well as THE ELECTRIC COMPANY, 3-2-1 CONTACT, and other Public Broadcasting series— is now co-producing seven completely foreign adaptations of their original brainchild.

Season 50'S Primetime Special
Season 50’s Primetime Special Sesame Street’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is an all-ages primetime event that offers a sweeping look back at fifty years on the Street. Hosted by Joseph Gordon Levitt, the special reimagines classic segments and songs as the Sesame Street gang gets ready for a big party to celebrate the neighborhood’s 50th birthday. When the famous street sign goes missing before the party, it’s up to Elmo, Rosita, Grover, and Abby to track it down, while Big Bird and Snuffy plan a surprise of their own. This star-studded special includes cameos from rare characters like Roosevelt Franklin and Kermit the Frog, and visits from celebrity guests. Joseph Gordon Levitt serves as the audience’s guide, breaking the fourth wall to talk to viewers about his favorite Sesame Street memories. (He also pops up inside some of those classic moments, discovering a telephone with the Yip Yip Martians, practicing “near” and “far” with Grover, and joining the shocked crowd meeting Snuffy for the first time.) Norah Jones sings “Welcome to the Party” as neighbors from yesterday and today return to the street. On the roof of 123 Sesame Street, music legend Nile Rodgers sings “People in Your Neighborhood” with a little help from Grover and Ernie. Sterling K. Brown masters Cookie Monster’s patented cookie-eating technique, and Elvis Costello joins Kermit in a touching rendition of “It’s Not Easy Being Green.” Solange Knowles sings a beautifully reimagined – and reanimated – “I Remember,” the classic short about a little girl shopping or a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.
