MAY 2017

hen Sam Northern was standing on the deck of the ship Explorer, watching humpback whales breach, leopard seals hunt, and penguins nest, there was only one thing on his mind in the face of these awe-inspiring sights.

His students.

Northern, a library media specialist at Simpson County Elementary School, visited Antarctica as a Grosevenor Teacher Fellow in a program established by the National Geographic Society that offers immersive experiences to educators, who then use them in their teaching.

For Northern, this once-ina-lifetime experience mirrors his teaching method: to bring realworld experiences home to his school. And he has found no better way to bring learning to life in countless subjects than with PBS LearningMedia, which is packed with the same kind of video, photos, and journals he logged in Antarctica.

PBS LearningMedia is a comprehensive online multimedia learning service — provided by KET and the Kentucky Department of Education — and is accessible for free to every Kentucky public, private, parochial and home school.

“There’s 200,000 resources on PBS LearningMedia. It’s my go-to place,” said Northern, who has also been named a PBS Digital Innovator for his imaginative and effective use of technology in the classroom.

“PBS LearningMedia’s Lesson Builder allows me to use the resources provided by PBS, and I can embed external links and ask questions,” said Northern, who has also taken a similarly immersive educational voyage to China.

“Everything is included in this one spot. When you’re on limited time, like we are in the library where I see every class once a week for 50 min-

about a certain topic,” he said. “If they’re doing a unit on raccoons or caribou, I may not have that many books, but I can find on PBS images, videos, there’s ‘interactives’ — I can put all that in a folder, share that URL with a teacher through email, and they can access more than what the library has in its print collection.”

Recently, Northern was leading third graders in their weekly library visit, where the lesson plan was on world folk tales, tsunamis, pets, and dolphins. They participated in four centers, where they did handson activities and learned via audio,

I know that the resources I’m getting from PBS are credible and safe for students. utes, I want to get the most out of my instructional time. So there’s a lot that I can include, and it makes it a selfpaced lesson.”

PBS LearningMedia provides students with a variety of learning opportunities.

“I know that the resources I’m getting from PBS are credible and safe for students, and they’re familiar with how to navigate Lesson Builder. So not only are they getting good content, but they’re starting to get those online navigational skills, and that takes practice,” he said.

PBS LearningMedia not only provides Northern an exceptional way to provide a library curriculum to his students, he also uses its resources to support classroom teachers.

“We also use PBS LearningMedia when teachers request information

video, and print media.

“I’m trying to promote multiple literacies; I intentionally think about how students can access content. I’m trying to give them these opportunities to learn how to collect information and how to make sense of information,” he said.

“And it isn’t always [taking] information in. They have to apply the information. So they can read a book, and then think about their own [response] to it through PBS LearningMedia when they answer the questions,” he added.

“Giving them that diversity in the library shows them that the library is not just books — and there is a way to use them in conjunction with other media to obtain a wellrounded view.”

Celebrating and supporting teachers

W

e can all look back and recall teachers whose influence still resonates with us today.

Like most of you, I was fortunate to have some wonderful teachers that made a difference in my life. I also had an opportunity to see the dedication of my mother, who was a teacher, and the work she did with her fellow educators and her students. Seeing her work during the evenings and weekends, I came to appreciate how much teachers do outside the classroom, developing lessons and meaningful activities.

As we near the end of another school year, there is no better time to think back on the teachers who helped make us who we are today, and to show our appreciation of those now responsible for shaping our children and our grandchildren.

We’re very proud at KET to support teachers.

Whether it’s providing convenient and easily accessible teacher professional development, delivering dynamic and engaging resources through PBS LearningMedia, or working directly with educators through our statewide network of consultants, KET’s commitment to student achievement goes far beyond the classroom.

It is extraordinarily rewarding to then see how these efforts have an impact on educators like Sam Northern and this year’s Kentucky PBS Digital Innovator, Ashley Judd of Jackson County (see page 20).

Thank you, teachers, media specialists, administrators, and all educators for all you do.

Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins

KET Executive Director and CEO

2 Victorian Slum House KET Tuesdays beginning May 2 • 8/7 pm KET2 Sundays beginning May 7 • 8/7 pm This new history/reality series takes viewers back to the British slums of the 1800s, where a group of modern day individuals recreate life in London’s East End as their forebears once lived between 1860-1900. Faced with the virtually impossible task of earning enough money to pay the rent and put food on the table, over five episodes the participants experience first-hand the tough living and working conditions endured by the millions that made up the urban poor in Victorian Britain. It’s an eye-opening experience for the participants as they each confront the harsh realities of the past and together lay the groundwork for welfare reform in the 20th century.

Nature: Dolphins— Spy in the Pod

Movie Classics: Walk the Line

KET Wednesdays, May 3 & 10 • 8/7 pm KET2 Saturdays, May 6 & 13 • 6/5 pm

KET Saturday, May 13 • 9/8 pm KET2 Friday, May 19 • 9/8 pm

Dolphins are known to be one of the most social animals on the planet, forming tightly knit pods of family units. Join the producers of “Nature: Spy in the Wild,” “EARTHflight,” and “Penguins: Spy in the Huddle” for a front row seat for a two-hourin-depth look into the lives of these dolphins. Capturing unique footage from 13 ingenious “spy” cameras including animatronic squid, a robotic turtle, and even a dolphin “double agent,” we are treated to the complex, unexpected, and often humorous adventures of these iconic sea mammals like we’ve never seen before.

Learn the story of country star Johnny Cash in this 2005 Oscar-winning film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. Beginning with his early days on an Arkansas cotton farm to his rise to fame with Sun Records in Memphis — where he recorded alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins — the film covers his courtship with June Carter, his battle with addiction, and the outlaw image which made him popular with prisoners. Witherspoon received the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as June — one of five the film was nominated for.

15 Belle Brezing and the Gilded Age of the Bluegrass KET Monday, May 15 9/8 pm KET2 Sunday, May 21 • 9/8 pm •

This Kentucky production tells the story of Belle Brezing, the Lexington madam with a nationwide reputation for running the Victorian era’s most “Orderly of Dis-Orderly homes.” With a head for business in the business of sex, Belle’s story is woven into the age when the equine and bourbon industries grew to new heights. In her influential parlors, she and her ladies plied their trade from the end of the 19th century through the start of World War I. The film details Brezing’s journey from hardscrabble youth to the “Baroness of the Brothel,” while becoming the nearly undeniable inspiration for Belle Watley in Gone with the Wind.

16 American Epic KET Begins Tuesday, May 16 • 9/8 pm KET2 Begins Monday, May 22 • 10/9 pm Join executive producers T Bone Burnett, Robert Redford, and Jack White for a truly epic three-part program chronicling the birth of modern music. During the 1920s, the musical strands of a diverse nation first intermingled, sparking a cultural renaissance that forever transformed the future of music and the world. Rediscover the families whose recordings would lead to the development of blues, country, gospel, Hawaiian, Cajun and folk music — without which there would be no rock, pop, R&B or hip hop today.

28 National Memorial Day Concert KET Sunday, May 28 • 8/7 pm & 10/9 pm Honor the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, military families, and others with this annual concert event. Hosted by acclaimed actors Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise, the broadcast will feature and an all-star lineup of actors and musicians along with pops conductor Jack Everly and the National Symphony Orchestra. Airing live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol, the program will also feature segments saluting veterans from several U.S. conflicts.

KET launches 24/7 PBS KIDS channel Jackson County teacher named 2017 PBS Digital Innovator

From left, Bill Farmer, president and CEO, United Way of the Bluegrass; Sharon Price, director, Community Action Council Child Development; Daniel Tiger; Shae Hopkins, KET’s executive director; and Malcolm J. Ratchford, executive director, Community Action Council for Lexington-Fayette, Bourbon, Harrison and Nicholas counties, announce the KET PBS KIDS channel at Russell Community Services Center in Lexington.

First-grade teacher Ashley Judd of Tyner Elementary in Jackson County is Kentucky’s 2017 PBS Digital Innovator.

PBS Digital Innovators set the bar for thoughtful technology integration in the classroom. They are K-12 educators, not defined by the gadgets they use, but by the unique way they approach education. Their bold and enthusiastic perspective sets them apart as change-makers, and unlocks new worlds for their students.

Judd’s technical expertise also made her the winner of the KET School Video Project prize for a stop-motion animation created by her students.

“Congratulations to Ms. Judd on this honor and recognition of her innovative teaching in the classroom,” said KET Executive Director Shae Hopkins. “KET’s partnership with PBS to recognize and support teachers is at the very heart of our mission.”

Judd will attend the PBS Digital Innovators Summit in San Antonio and receive a digital device for her classroom, a free PBS TeacherLine course, ongoing support in her classroom from KET, and more.

Hon. Greg Fischer, Mayor of Louisville talks about the importance of preparing children for kindergarten.

KET’s ‘Journey to Recovery’ addresses opioid epidemic

Prisoners changing their lives through writing featured in new documentary

As families touched by addiction know all too well, our nation is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Learn about treatment options available in Kentucky an encore of KET’s Journey to Recovery, which explores personal stories of triumph over addiction using various recovery programs.

Opioids — including heroin and prescription opioids such as oxycodone and hydrocodone — killed more than 33,000 people in 2015, more than any year on record, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Deaths due to opioid overdoses claim the lives of 91 Americans every day.

The documentary examines an array of treatment and recovery programs offered across the state, including abstinence-only programs – such as faith-based and 12step programs – as well as medication-assisted treatment programs.

The program also interviews many of the nation’s Beargrass: CreekVolkow, in Our Backyard top experts on addiction, including Dr.The Nora director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and Dr. Robert DuPont, the former White House Drug Chief and founding director of the Institute for Behavior and Health Inc.

In Kentucky, the power of creativity is being used by some inmates to tell their own stories and change the direction of their lives. A new documentary, I Come From, focuses on these incarcerated poets and playwrights who use words to combat the stresses of incarceration and to learn to better themselves.

“Their poems and plays reflect hard lives lived, tough Land, Leaders and Legaicies environments negotiated, past mistakes made,” said producer Robby Henson. “Their words declare a wish, a will to survive, to grow as human beings and embrace an architecture of change.”

One of the men featured, Andrew Phillips, was raised in an orphanage in Louisville and was sentenced to 30 years for a drug-related capital crime committed when he was 15 years old. Now a published poet and playwright, Phillips’ creative work reflects aspects of his challenging up-bringing.

“I wanted to be hard,” he said. “If I had a pull-string on my back when I was growing up, it would have said ‘I don’t care, I don’t care.’ I did, but I wanted to be hard to survive.”

I Come From was produced with the assistance of the Kentucky Department of Corrections.
