Blue Ridge PBS created a video series in collaboration with the staff of the Virginia Department of Education called Virginia Roots: A Journey into Appalachian Music. Instructional resources were created to demonstrate effective classroom application of the media and concepts in standards-aligned sample lessons aligned to the 2020 Music Standards of Learning. The episode guide contains resources to accompany the Appalachian Music media including a description of the video, discussion prompts, and links to both the media and standards aligned instructional resources created by a team of Virginia educators.
