Introducing Penguin Random House Elementary Education!

By Daryl Sela | September 12 2019 | General

Penguin Random House (PRH) is the international home to nearly 250 editorially and creatively independent publishing imprints. Together, our mission is to foster a universal passion for reading by partnering with authors to help create stories and communicate ideas that inform, entertain, and inspire, and to connect them with readers everywhere.

Inspire Teachers and Learners with Outstanding Books 

Furthering the mission of Penguin Random House, PRH Elementary Education provides unparalleled books and resources for teachers to help students foster the confidence and passion to engage with books and learning.

That mission informs everything we do—from developing Teaching Collections, built for educators to support specific instructional intent like Socio-Emotional learning, STEM, and Social Studies—to PreK-6 grade level classroom resources and guides to infuse the classroom with great series like Seuss and The Magic Tree House, and author study with Jacqueline Woodson, Nic Stone and more.

It is more important than ever before that our children become lifelong readers, writers, and learners. PRH Elementary Education is thus committed to supporting students, teachers and schools by sharing relevant, engaging, and diverse voices that harness the power of literacy, supports equity and fosters a lifelong love for reading that promotes success in and out of the classroom.

 


Recognizing Educators

Teaching transforms. It motivates and inspires children to be confident, to explore, and to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners. PRH Education honors educators and their passion for being a part of a profession that is dedicated to making positive change in the lives of students.

The Penguin Random House partnership with the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) recognizes the nation’s most dynamic and resourceful teachers who use their creativity to inspire and successfully instill a lifelong love of reading and poetry in students.  Built upon the Penguin Random House Teacher Awards for Literacy which began in 2012 and awarded more than $150,000 teacher grants to date, this NCTE partnership will award two separate and distinct grant awards each awarding a $10,000 grant.

 


Social Responsibility, Community and Giving
