FAQ
A Livestream Event at Livestream Learning Studio is a 30-minute virtual lesson delivered live to schools with an annual subscription. During the livestream, classrooms or individuals interact in real time with our Directors who deliver lessons in Subject Areas using an arts integration pedagogy.
Each of our Livestream Events includes:
- Online Teaching and Learning Tool Kit for teacher’s preparation
- 30-minute, live event presenting an arts integrated lesson on a specific topic
- Real-time interaction and Q & A with students during the Live Event
- Follow-up activities and assessments available in the online Tool Kit
Each Livestream is aligned to national standards for grades K-12 and highlights three Subject Areas: STEM, Health & Wellbeing and Financial literacy. Within these three Subject Areas we address many different topics including, but not limited to, SEL, Savings, Ecology, Health, Civic Responsibility. We provide unmatched educational enrichment with a drama-based arts integrated approach.
All of the topics and content in our livestreams align to national educational standards. For a description of each title and which standards they align to, please visit our website.
Livestream Learning Studio supports SEL teaching strategies by aligning virtual content and follow-up lessons with the five core competencies of the Casel SEL Framework. Our livestream directors establish a culture of kindness and respect during the programs, using terms and phrases that nurture a growth mindset for the program participants. Students work in pairs and/or social groups to complete activities and discuss the subject matter, encouraging them to collaborate and form productive relationships with their peers.
We use the performing arts as the construct to present the educational content. Every Original Title is written, produced and performed live in our studio. In addition, each title has a corresponding Arts activity that teachers can use in the classroom after viewing the livestream.
With an annual subscription, all teachers have access to 24 Original Titles (Topics) divided into three Subject Areas – STEM, Health & Wellbeing and Financial Literacy – giving you access to a total of 192 Livestream Events during one school year.
During this school year, our Livestream Events have reached:
Over 2,250 schools
Over 560,000 students
Over 31,000 teachers
On a scale of 1-7, educators have scored our Livestream Events at a 6.58 on average. Ninety eight percent (98%) of these educators said they would like to receive a similar virtual program in the future.

Yes, every teacher (and every student) in a registered school may attend any or all of our 192 annual Livestream Events.
Our first annual subscription is currently available for Grades 3-5. Stay tuned for more in the near future.
Our platform supports millions of individual users logging in to attend the event, so basically, unlimited.
Participants need an internet connection to log in, and a device with audio to watch and listen. The stream can be viewed on phones, laptops, computers, smartscreens, etc. If multiple people are watching from the same location (such as in a classroom), we recommend that the fewest devices possible are used. This allows for a more collaborative experience and can help ensure the best internet connection.
Upon subscribing, the schools primary contact will be provided with a link to the Livestream Event along with all necessary details. They are instructed to share this information with their staff, and in the case of distance learning, forward it to the student’s home.
No log in is asked for or required. We do not require or collect any data that can be tracked to an individual viewer. Our full privacy policy is on our website: https://LIVEstreamlearningstudio.com/privacy-policy/
The link that the school receives after subscription and registration is the link to ALL Livestream Events throughout the year. One copy of each Original Title (Topic) will be archived and available the following month in a library for educators to use on demand.
Yes, if a viewer or viewers log in late to the Livestream Event, they will arrive at the “live” moment within the event. They can continue from there or track back to the beginning of the stream but won’t be able to take true advantage of the live interaction, Q & A, etc.
If you miss a Livestream Event, there are many options. You can go to the next available event – which could be that same day. In addition, as a subscriber you also have the ability to reference past Original Titles on demand in your library.
There is no maximum audience size. The more, the merrier.
Usually, we reach out directly to individual school buildings to see if the school is interested in subscribing, rather than first reaching out to the district. If a school is interested and they require district or board approval, we are happy to fill out any necessary paperwork and/or applications to abide by specific guidelines.
The calendar of all 192 Livestream Events is prepared in advance and each event is available live at those times only. An Original Title will be recorded and added to your library the month following its live debut.
The cost for an annual subscription is $2,650 per school. The total annual subscription cost when you register with your payment information, grants you access to all 192 Livestream Events plus Professional Development for your teachers. Additional discounts apply for a multiple school subscription. Please contact Info@LivestreamLearningStudio.com for more information.
