fter every preschooler has arrived in the classrooms; after breakfast has been served, and after a little free play, it begins. Every day at Temple Academy Learning Center in Louisville, the children settle down for teacher-led instruction in math, science, reading, and art. And many of the materials that enrich these young minds were developed and are provided by KET. “We use much of the curriculum on a daily basis,” said center director Tonia Whitaker, a former substitute teacher and a mom of six who also leads the Christian education program at her church, where the center is located. “We were looking for something that is extremely high-quality, extremely effective, and then cost-effective for us.” Because of this, the enthusiastic new center director says that the materials and training provided by KET at no cost — such as Everyday Science for Preschoolers, Everyday Math, and Art to Heart — are a cornerstone of Temple Academy’s instruction. “As a new director, I understood what I knew about early childhood; I had a lot of experience working with children. But one of the things I wanted to find out was what I didn’t know. I quickly found out it was more than just getting licensed,” she said. So when Whitaker learned of the training KET offers to centers in Louisville’s West End through a childcare networking agency, she jumped at the chance to get her teachers trained and the curriculum in her center. “I was flabbergasted by it,” she remembered. “First of all, by the high quality of the materials that we got and then the easiness of their use. ” Teachers at Temple Academy were excited about what they learned and about bringing it back to their
classrooms, Whitaker said. “When we got the staff trained, it was a real morale boost,” she said. “Sometimes you just get in a rut. The KET instructors were very inviting, very engaging, and very informative. And you walked away thinking, ‘Oh you know, I can do this!’” And Whitaker said the center also finds the KET materials invaluable due to the ease with which newly hired teachers can be trained by other teachers. “The curriculum is so portable,” she said. “When we hired a new teacher I was able to go through it with her myself and she was able to immediately use it and implement it in her classroom.” And the little learners themselves? “Art to Heart really spurs their curiosity,” she said. “It’s a wonderful springboard for them — they start saying, ‘Oh I can do this! And how about this?’ And I think Everyday Science is the one that’s most enjoyable for both the children and the staff. Kids just naturally like learning, and they just love it.” Key to Whitaker is that KET is helping her prepare students for the future. “The KET resources have helped us with kindergarten readiness!” she exclaimed. “The materials support skills necessary for successful transitioning.” Whitaker also believes the funding KET allocates toward early childhood education is vital for centers like hers all across Kentucky. “Speaking on behalf of children — especially children in areas that may not have opportunities because of income,” she said, “these materials and training have been so beneficial. We need to be able to provide resources for our teachers who take care of the youngest and most vulnerable among us. That’s a huge return on your dollars.”
“The KET resources have helped us with kindergarten readiness! The materials support skills necessary for successful transitioning.”

COVER STORY
SPIESLIKE
THEM
Camouflaged cameras record never-before-seen natural behavior In the most innovative series Nature has ever presented, the five-part “Spy in the Wild” employs over 30 animatronic spy cameras disguised as animals to secretly record behavior in the wild. These “spy cams” reveal animals as having emotions and behavior similar to humans — specifically, a capacity to love, grieve, deceive, and invent. The cameras bear an uncanny resemblance to their real counterparts and observe the behavior of orangutans, crocodile hatchlings, meerkats, egrets, tortoises, prairie dogs, macaws, sloths, cobras, bushbabys, squirrels, and baby hippos. These robotic look-alikes infiltrate the natural world, recording wildlife from 31 locations in 21 countries — from jungle and desert to oceans and the poles. Some of the surprising behavior captured includes “spy baby crocodile” getting a ride inside the mouth of a real crocodile as she gathers her babies up for safety; spy squirrel discovering how real squirrels use intellect to overcome nut thieves; and much more.

5 Victoria on Masterpiece KET Sundays • 9/8 pm KET2 Wednesdays • 9/8 pm The eight-hour drama following Britain’s Queen Victoria — from the time she becomes queen in 1837 at the age of 18 — continues this month. In “The Clockwork Prince,” airing Jan. 29, Albert pays a visit against the queen’s wishes and meets royal disdain — where could it possibly lead? And meanwhile, the mystery of Miss Skerrett’s past deepens. In “An Ordinary Woman,” airing Feb. 5, courtship at court leads to second thoughts and other complications. Will Victoria and Albert take the fateful step into matrimony? And will the queen promise “to obey” her foreign prince?

8 City in the Sky KET Begins Wednesday, Feb. 8 • 10/9 pm KET2 Begins Sunday, Feb. 12 • 6/5 pm Above our heads is a unique metropolis — a midair “city” composed of nearly a million people traveling on the flights crisscrossing the world daily. In this three-part program, meet the hidden army working to keep the city aloft and uncover the exceptional engineering and technology that make it work. The topics include what it takes to get a million people off the ground; the people who keep planes safe, and why flying has become safer than ever; and the global networks and technology involved in getting passengers safely back to Earth.
10 Smokey Robinson: The Gershwin Prize KET Friday, Feb. 10 • 9:30/8:30 pm Samuel L. Jackson hosts this all-star tribute to Smokey Robinson, the 2016 recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Performers include Robinson, as well as Aloe Blacc, Gallant, CeeLo Green, JoJo, Ledisi, Tegan Marie, Kip Moore, Corinne Bailey Rae, Esperanza Spalding, The Tenors, Joe Walsh, and BeBe Winans. There’s also a special appearance by Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records.
12 Elizabeth at 90 A Family Tribute KET Sunday, Feb. 12 • 10/9 pm KET2 Wednesday, Feb. 15 • 10/9 pm Narrated by the Prince of Wales, this program is a unique celebration of the queen’s 90 years. Filmmaker John Bridcut was granted access to the complete collection of Elizabeth’s personal cine films, shot by the Duke of Edinburgh and the queen herself. Various members of the royal family provide personal insights into the woman they know both as a member of their own family and as queen.
14 Independent Lens: Tower KET Tuesday, Feb. 14 • 10/9 pm KET2 Sunday, Feb. 19 • 10/9 pm In August 1966, a sniper rode the elevator to the top floor of the University of Texas Tower and opened fire, holding the campus hostage for 96 minutes. When the gunshots were finally silenced, the toll included 16 dead, three dozen wounded, and a shaken nation left trying to understand. Combining archival footage with rotoscopic animation in a dynamic, never-before-seen way, “Tower” reveals the untold stories of the witnesses, heroes, and survivors of America’s first mass school shooting, when the worst in one man brought out the best in so many others.
20 The World’s Most Famous Train KET2 Monday, Feb. 20 • 9/8 pm With an average of 30 on-board proposals every year, the Venice Simplon Orient Express is considered the most luxurious and romantic locomotive in the world. Used by the Nazis during World War II, the train was subsequently abandoned and fell into disrepair. Restored to its former glory in 1982, today this luxury line provides five-star service and breathtaking views of Europe’s countryside to passengers looking for a unique travel experience with a bit of oldschool glamour.

Staying informed
I
t’s February, which means our elected representatives will once again convene in Kentucky’s beautiful capitol to work on lawmaking that impacts each and every one of us. As the Commonwealth’s only statewide media network, KET provides unparalleled reach and access to these legislative proceedings. As Thomas Jefferson noted on multiple occasions, an informed citizenry is vital to our democracy. That’s an idea upon which our nation was built, and one that is no less relevant today. What might our founding fathers have thought of technology that would one day mean every citizen could have instant access to legislative proceedings no matter where they were? Stay informed with coverage of House and Senate floor proceedings, as well as numerous committee meetings, in addition to nightly recaps on Legislative Update and weekly perspective from Kentucky Tonight and Comment on Kentucky. Watch on television or with live streaming on your computer, tablet, or phone. (If you haven’t already, be sure to download the free KET Legislative Coverage App for iPhone, iPad, and Android.) KET’s legislative team provides the most comprehensive coverage of the issues that matter to you, and we value the trust you’ve placed in us.
