Dropping Back In is a series of powerful half-hour documentaries showcasing people who have rebuilt their lives by earning a high school equivalency. Check with your PBS station for schedules or watch programs and interviews at droppingbackin.org. • Second Chances explores the reasons so many leave school; interviews individuals who have dropped out and experts working tirelessly to solve the problem; and examines the consequences for individuals and society. • More Than a Statistic looks at dropout prevention and recovery programs that target younger dropouts and have a track record of success. • Complicated Lives examines some of the many stumbling blocks dropouts face in their attempts to pursue an education and looks at programs seeking to close achievement gaps. • Working for the Future looks at some of the education and training opportunities that provide skills needed to compete in the workplace of the future. • Building a Better Life looks at successful apprentice and training-based programs that are preparing undereducated and underemployed people for available jobs by teaching marketable skills. The program also explores the difference a constant and caring adult can make.
Coloring Book Downloads A coloring book telling the story of Kellie Blair Hardt, a former dropout and now an award-winning special education teacher featured in the Dropping Back In program “Second Chances,” is available to download and print. The coloring book is aimed at a dual audience—young children, providing them with an inspiring story that encourages them to stay in school and value their education, and their parents, especially those who have dropped out and need the encouragement to obtain their high school credential. The back of the coloring book has space for localized information, or you can use the space to promote KETFastForward.org.

Ready to engage Veteran adult educator Kitty Head uses an array of ways to get students engaged with each other and the subject matter. Her efforts have earned her COABE Teacher of the Year, the Wellcare Community Hero, and Hilliard Lyons University of Louisville Teacher of Excellence. Here are some of her best tips:
Celebrate life victories
Use impromptu celebrations
It’s one student’s birthday, today is important within a student’s culture, one solved a complex math problem, another earned a GED® credential. These are all openings to build community.
Often celebrations cannot be planned. Everyday victories come out during class discussions. That’s when Head stops and spotlights the individual, offering praise and support and attention—rare commodities in most students’ lives.
Celebrate students’ cultures by developing social studies lesson plans around a student’s home country. This gives the lesson a real-life application. “When students feel like a part of the lesson, they take ownership of it,” Head says. “By relating the subject matter to something the students face in their lives, they see the value and are better engaged.”
Bring the workplace to the classroom Use examples from students’ jobs to highlight the importance of writing skills and correct grammar usage. Jobs in carpentry and mechanics offer a chance to formulate math lessons. Everyday needs such as purchasing a car or buying groceries become a way to show students how to calculate interest payments or use percentages to take advantage of sales.

Too late to ucceed? Harrison Ford was a carpenter and bit-part actor at age 34. But one year later he blasted onto movie screens as Han Solo in Star Wars. He is now a movie star. Adult learners can feel there isn’t time left to achieve their dreams. But dreams don’t have a deadline. Here are a few other folks who achieved their dreams later in life.
