MAKING A DIFFERENCE

GED SOLUTIONS ®

ALABAMA PUBLIC TELEVISION’S ROY CLEM EMBRACES KET’S FAST FORWARD ADULT EDUCATION RESOURCES

Februar y 2016

OY CLEM HAS BEEN AROUND.

From Tombstone, Ariz., to Denver, Colo., to Birmingham, Ala., the executive director of Alabama Public Television has made his home all across the United States. As a child, he accompanied his mother as she changed locales whenever the spirit moved her. Later, he went to college to decide what spirit moved him and launched a series of careers that brought him into contact with all walks of life. TV reporter. Cop. Cattle and sheep rancher. College professor. All that experience, Clem says, culminated in his decision to enter the world of public television and use its unique position to reach and teach people, whatever their age, need, or background. “Public television offers such a great opporunity. The real sense of collaboration and the absolute mission-driven nature of public television makes it special,” he said. “A couple of years ago, it became pretty clear to me that there’s a problem with the number of adults in Alabama who don’t have GEDs,” he said. “We want to keep kids in high school so that they can get their high school diploma,” he continued. “But I was worried about all those kids and all those people who had already fallen through the cracks. What can

we do for them? How can we help them?” To that end, Clem recently stepped up Alabama Public Television’s role in adult education with the help of KET’s Fast Forward online learning system. KET Fast Forward is aligned to national academic and college/career readiness standards, and is designed to help adult learners prepare for high school equivalency assessments offered by GED Testing Service®, among others.

“FAST FORWARD IS SUCH A GOOD SOLUTION.” This flexible system can be used in adult education centers and by adults studying independently. “It’s a terrific program and it’s got a great track record,” Clem notes. “We worked closely with the Education Division folks at KET, and I just can’t say enough about how helpful they are and how grateful we are that we are bringing this wonderful program into our state.” From his experience as a police officer and detective, Clem clearly sees how Fast Forward can be used to serve prison populations. “As a former law enforcement

officer, so many times I encountered people who wound up going to prison because they were a victim of their circumstances, and they really didn’t have anyone there to help them,” he said. “If we can help folks in prison get a high-school diploma and get some additional training, I really think we can have an impact on the recidivism rate and help change people’s lives. And if we can get them their GEDs before they’re ever involved in trouble, we’re going to be able to change lives that way as well.” Clem also believes using Fast Forward in tandem with other educational resources can have an impact on the poverty level in Alabama, saying that multigenerational poverty can be broken by working together with young people and their parents. Alabama Public Television has utilized other KET GED resources in the past, Clem notes, but he is excited about how Fast Forward has embraced current technology and has built-in flexibility. “Fast Forward is a real natural. It’s the type of program that can easily change with the times. We live in a digital world now where virtually everybody thinks in terms of mobile phones, tablets — they think with a digital mindset,” he said. “And that’s why Fast Forward is such a good solution. It allows people to learn at any hour, any day, any time that they are able to get online and work with it.” www.ket.org

SHORT TAKES Today’s KET: A Mission to Educate

KET ‘Exploraciones’ provides Spanish resources for grades K-6

As my colleague and friend Roy Clem, head of Alabama Public Television, so eloquently says in this month’s Making a Difference, public television is mission driven. We have a mission to inform, to inspire, and, above all, to educate. And today public television is meeting this mission in the most innovative of ways. The KET-developed Fast Forward – used by Alabama Public Television, as well as other public television stations, adult learning centers, businesses, and more – is a comprehensive digital learning system providing much needed instruction and test prep for GED students. While full of the kind of engaging and effective instructional video that KET has a long history of producing, Fast Forward’s computer-based platform provides an unprecedented level of interactivity, convenience, and customization to meet student needs. Similarly, PBS LearningMedia meets both student and teacher needs as one of the most dynamic repositories of digital learning resources available for preschool through high school. Whether it’s clips from Nova that help demonstrate a scientific principle, or essential teacher professional development, like KET’s highlyutilized Promoting Positive Behavior in Schools training, access to quality educational content is just a click away. These are but a few of the ways KET and our fellow public broadcasters across the country are going beyond television to enrich the learning experience and support student achievement. This is our mission.

KET’s new Exploraciones collection on PBS LearningMedia is full of engaging digital resources to help elementary teachers introduce their students to the Spanish language. It offers a variety of video segments, animations, lesson plans, and other materials that teachers can easily incorporate into their everyday instruction — even if they themselves are not Spanish speakers. Produced in collaboration with the Kentucky Department of Education, these standards-based resources are helping schools and teachers meet the state’s World Language and Global Competency requirements, which include both language study and exposure to other cultures throughout the world.

KET and PBS seek tech-savvy educators Kentucky educators who excel at using technology and digital media to support student learning may apply to be a 2016 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovator. The annual program recognizes K-12 teachers and administrators for their creative use of digital media in the classroom. The application is available at www.pbslearningmedia.org/digitalinnovators.
