2Report to the Communi ty

KET distinguishes itself as the most-trusted, preeminent source of high-quality educational and public media—in classrooms, homes, and communities—to meet the diverse needs of Kentucky.

KET produces and provides innovative and relevant programs and services, giving all citizens access to in-depth information and to cultural and educational opportunities.

OUR VISION

KET’s mission is to make Kentucky a better place and

strengthen its communities by educating, inspiring,

informing, and connecting its citizens through

the power of public media.

LEARNING lifelong pursuit of knowledge

EQUITY equal access to needed resources

FAIRNESS respect for all voices

CREATIVITY encouragement of imagination, invention, and expression

INNOVATION appropriate use of advanced techniques and technologies

EXCELLENCE achievement of high quality and effectiveness

INTEGRITY adherence to the highest standards of conduct

COMMUNITY working together toward common goals

OUR VALUES


KET believes learning begins early and never ends. During FY15, we continued to be a powerful force and trusted partner in education, delivering high-quality services and support across the educational spectrum. Our Everyday Learning initiative and other early childhood endeavors directly impacted thousands of children, parents and childcare providers. PBS LearningMedia expanded, providing K-12 resources – including more than 2,600 produced by KET – to teachers and students across the U.S. And KET shared inspiring stories of high school dropouts who found the courage to “drop back in” and also provided its Fast Forward service to prepare learners for the GED and other high school equivalency tests.

CRADLE TO CAREER EDUCATION


KET is infinitely more than a television station, from our Education Consultants working with teachers in nearly every public school across the Commonwealth to events held in communi-ties large and small. And with the help of technology, we’re sharing the stories we capture with the nation and the world. Whether live and archived video on KET.org or the thousands of hours of KET-produced programs offered through the PBS app, FY15 saw more KET content offered to more people in more ways than ever before.

No one covers Kentucky like KET – from trustworthy, in-depth coverage of the issues that affect us most to the unique stories of our history, heritage and culture. KET-produced series and specials accounted for nearly 600 hours of original programming in FY15, including the only comprehensive coverage of the Kentucky General Assembly.

UNMATCHED LOCAL PRODUCTION

SERVING THE COMMONWEALTH AND BEYOND


KENTUCKY’S LARGEST CLASSROOM Early Childhood Education

KET’s commitment to early childhood education goes well beyond the PBS Kids programs we broadcast. Just as important is ensuring that childcare providers and parents have the tools and knowledge they need to provide the best hands-on learning opportunities for the children in their care. During FY15, KET once again dedicated hundreds of hours to going out into communities to provide both professional workshops and family engagement events, all in an effort to ensure our youngest citizens are prepared to enter kindergarten and have the foundation necessary for success. Early childhood professionals from 62 counties across Kentucky attended KET Everyday Learning workshops, which included the addition of two new face-to-face trainings: Everyday Math for Preschoolers and All Around Me, which focuses on social studies. As with our other Everyday Learning resources, these workshops aim to demonstrate how important concepts vital to

creating kindergarten readiness can be taught through simple, everyday objects and activities. The response from participants was extremely positive:

• “There were awesome idea that address issues we see every day with the kids.”

• “It was very informative and age appropriate. Plus the kids would love the activities.”

• “Love finding out about video clips to go with ideas – helps provide hands-on ideas you can implement easily.

Likewise, KET reached out to communities in Louisville with the highest need, both in terms of economics and kindergarten-readiness, as the focus FY15’s Ready to Learn project. In addition to training workshops, KET staff worked with a variety of partners to provide family engagement and outreach events for families in Louisville and across the state.


THE YEAR AT A GLANCE

Enrolled 2,700 preschool teachers and childcare workers

in the KET Childcare Training program for state licensing requirements.

Produced SIX new early childhood online courses,bringing the total number

provided to 40.

KET provided 210 courses and training events to 4,300 childcare workers and 4,000 parents, impacting an estimated

90,000 children.

Impacted the lives of Kentucky children and families

through $1.26 MILLION in grants for early-childhood training and resources,

thanks to the James Graham Brown Foundation and the PNC Foundation.


Helping teachers be the best they can be is essential to student success. As a partner in classrooms across the state, KET provides professional development training, entire courses, and an ever-expanding library of engaging digital learning resources. For teachers like Susan Cintra, who was one of four Kentucky educators named PBS Digital Innovators in 2015 and one of 30 in the nation named top Lead Innovators, technology is an essential part of the modern classroom. “My kids are engaged and having fun, and the technology is the bridge to the content and the ideas that we explore.”

To take advantage of technology as a learning tool, Cintra relies on the digital content on PBS LearningMedia, provided across Kentucky through KET EncycloMedia. KET has been one of the primary producers of PBS LearningMedia content since its inception. Plus, during FY15, KET hosted the first-ever PBS LearningMedia Summit for educators at the statewide Kentucky Society for Technology in Education conference, the premier event for technology leaders, innovators, and teachers in Kentucky. “With the guidance of PBS and the vast amount of resources and knowledge available through PBS LearningMedia, magic can happen,” adds Cintra.

KENTUCKY’S LARGEST CLASSROOM K-12



Instructional Resources & Services

During FY15, 430 new instructional videos and interactives were produced by KET and shared through PBS LearningMedia, offered statewide through KET EncycloMedia. More than 2,600 KET-produced resources are available in PBS LearningMedia.

Approximately 1.3 million streams and downloads of instructional content were accessed through KET EncycloMedia and Kentucky iTunes U. As a Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) and Council for Postsecondary Education “Preferred Public Partner” of online courses, KET continued its class offerings in physics, world languages and more. With support from KDE, KET completed work on the EXPLORACIONES prototype – providing elementary-level resources to improve Spanish instruction and increase student proficiency. KET expanded its dual high school/college credit courses in partnership with Morehead State University.

Professional Development

KET launched two new professional development courses:

Promoting Positive Behavior in Schools III and

Professional Learning for Peer Observers. More than 60,000 PD certificates were awarded to educators during FY15.

Consultants & Trainings

KET Education Consultants provided 770 workshops, events and consultations to more

than 19,300 teachers, students and parents.


KET is committed to a continuum of education that begins in the preschool years and extends through high school and beyond. We also recognize that not everyone follows the same educational path. “I recently passed the GED test and received my certificate. I wanted to let you know that I could not and would not have been able to accomplish this without the KET Fast Forward program,” said a learner. “Even with the looming budget cuts, the one thing I have told my director: I need more KET Fast Forward seats! I have found the more I use it in the classroom, the more the students are encouraged to use it independently at home,” said an adult education instructor. Launched in 2014 to correspond with the redesigned GED test, KET’s Fast Forward test-preparation learning system is serving the needs of those looking to further their education and find a better job. Thanks to a partnership between KET and Kentucky Adult Education (KAE), Fast Forward is now available in all adult education centers statewide.

“KET has been a great partner,” says KAE vice president Reecie Stagnolia. “We want the best, highest quality adult-education system for our population, and KET continues to be a national leader.” As a recipient of an American Graduate grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), KET has held outreach events to encourage youth to stay in school, created programming to inform citizens of important issues in education and reached out to those who dropped out before earning a high school diploma. In FY15, KET completed Dropping Back In, a national documentary series supported with funding from CPB’s American Graduate initiative. KET traveled across the U.S., gathering inspiring stories of former dropouts telling their personal stories, profiles of institutions and organizations that are forging innovative solutions, and leading experts discussing key issues. The result was five half-hour programs that have aired on public television stations nationwide. Randy Trask, CEO of GED Testing Service, says of the documentary series, “For the first time, I’ve seen a program that puts a human face on an American tragedy.”

KENTUCKY’S LARGEST CLASSROOM Adult Education



Fast Forward added 8,600 NEW USERS in FY15, bringing the total number of users in the first 18 months to

10,400.

More than 990 ADULT EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS

participated in live and virtual workshops conducted by KET.

Dropping Back In

has aired in 45 states.

The learning system received the

2015 Leadership in Technology award from ConnectKentucky.


IN THE COMMUNITY. FOR THE COMMUNITY.

Public AffairsKentuckians count on KET’s public affairs programming, from elections to the General Assembly and beyond. Kentucky Tonight, Comment on Kentucky, Connections with Renee Shaw and One to One with Bill Goodman deliver weekly insights and analysis, while live legislative coverage and the nightly highlights on Legislative Update ensure that every person has unparalleled access to the legislative process.

‘Kentucky Life’ & ‘Kentucky Collectibles’ As Kentucky Life celebrated its 20th season, Kentucky Collectibles, in only its third season, catapulted in popularity. Each in its own way shares stories of Kentucky’s people, places and history. And viewers responded by making these programs KET’s two highest-rated local productions during FY15.

‘A History of Kentucky in 25 Objects’ With funding from KET’s Endowment for Kentucky Productions, this special journeyed through Kentucky’s rich history. From a 1,000-year-old Native American farming tool to Colonel Harlan Sanders’ first pressure cooker, the program took a fascinating approach to exploring the unique story of our state.


HealthWith continued support from the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, KET bolstered its health initiative in FY15 with a special report examining the unique factors affecting teen health today, including bullying, testing pressure, substance abuse and more. Additionally, the series Health Three60 brought viewers important insights into and solutions for issues including asthma, the importance of sleep and the heroin epidemic.

ArtsKET once again showcased a wide variety of the works that make up our state’s vibrant arts scene. Among the highlights, Kentucky Muse brought viewers a celebration of 50 years of the world-renown Actors Theatre of Louisville, while In Performance at the Governor’s Mansion: 100 Years of Music celebrated the centennial of the Governor’s Mansion with performances from the University of Kentucky Opera Theatre.

‘Dreamers & Doers: VOICES of Kentucky Women’This independently produced documentary tells the compelling stories of 47 influential women in Kentucky’s history. Some of the women profiled and their achievements are familiar, but many are of women whose accomplishments, though long deserving wider recognition, have remained largely unknown.

“Workplace Essential Skills: The Interview”

“We want other families to have the same educational opportunities for their kids, the

same programming options for their children, that we have been fortunate enough to have

both for ourselves and our children.”

- Dr. Kaveh Sajadi parent and KET Member from Lexington


PBS AND PBS KIDS

“There is no better thing in the world for him than the world he is watching in

those shows on KET.”

- Mary Hughes parent from Floyd County

PBS KIDS ranked #1 Educational TV media brand, TOP BUILDER OF CRITICAL SKILLS, and Safest on-air and online destination.

In a recent study, CHILDREN WHO WATCHED AND USED PBS KIDS content and related support materials outscored their peers on standardized math tests.

PBS Kids premiered Odd Squad, in which agents Olive and Otto must investigate weird and unusual phenomena around them and use math to put things right.



The riveting fifth season of Masterpiece’s hit series Downton Abbey premiered, and fans proved once again why they made it the most popular program in PBS history.

Plus, Masterpiece had additional hits with a reimagined version of its classic Poldark and the highly anticipated adaptation of Wolf Hall, the latter of which received NINE EMMY NOMINATIONS and won the Golden Globe for best television limited series.

The Roosevelts: An Intimate History, an epic seven-

part documentary from KEN BURNS, presented, for the first time in a single narrative, the individual stories of members of one of America’s most influential families. The result was not only a review of important epochs of America’s history, but also a very human tale of love, betrayal, family dynamics and personal courage.

Burns also brought viewers Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. This complete story of cancer — from its first description in an ancient Egyptian scroll to the

gleaming laboratories of modern research institutions — interweaves a sweeping historical narrative with intimate patient stories and an investigation into the latest scientific breakthroughs.

Given that Kentucky has one of the highest cancer rates in the country, this important series was particularly relevant to our viewers. A special episode of KET’s Health Three60 accompanied the series finale, giving viewers an opportunity to call in with their questions and learn the latest information about life-saving screenings and early detection.

On the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, American Experience presented the powerful Oscar-nominated film LAST DAYS IN VIETNAM.

Think Wednesdays once again brought viewers an entire evening of science and exploration with Nature, NOVA and a number of intriguing specials, including the five-part EARTH A New Wild, a visually stunning look at how humans are inextricably woven into every aspect of the planet’s natural systems.

From Downton Abbey to DINOSAUR TRAIN, the

music of Austin City Limits to Nova’s journeys to the outer limits of our universe, KET is Kentucky’s premier source for PBS programs.

For the 12th consecutive year, the American public

ranked PBS #1 IN PUBLIC TRUST and an excellent value for tax dollars.
