or viewers, KET may be best known for its quality programs including Masterpiece dramas, Kentucky Life, Finding Your Roots and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. Among those who work with adult learners, however, KET has long been seen as a go-to source for high quality educational resources, such as our FastForward course, which helps people prepare to earn the GED® credential. And this reputation extends beyond Kentucky’s borders to across the nation. Just ask Holly Heintz, an adult education teacher in St. Petersburg, Florida, who was named the 2017 National Teacher of the Year by the Coalition on Adult Basic Education.For nearly 25 years, Heintz has been using KET’s GED preparation materials to great effect, complementing her instruction and helping students make strides in their studies and careers. “I wish I’d kept a list of all the success stories I’ve had with KET’s FastForward because there’s been so many,” Heintz said. “There are a ton of educational products out there, but I always come back to FastForward because it’s so well thought out and easy to use. And that goes a long way toward helping my students consistently get to the finish line.” Years ago, Heintz said she first discovered KET’s educational 2

products – a box of VHS tapes and companion workbooks – while teaching adult education at the Pinellas County Jail.
“The inmates were visual learners, and I liked the way the KET tapes broke stuff down and made it simple to understand,” Heintz said.
TODAY’S KET
I WISH I’D KEPT A LIST OF ALL THE SUCCESS STORIES I’VE HAD WITH KET’S FASTFORWARD BECAUSE THERE’S BEEN SO MANY. “And I was amazed by how quickly they were learning.” The VHS tapes Heintz used were in many ways a product of the larger educational vision that KET’s founder O. Leonard Press had for the network when, in the mid-1970s, it created a televised GED preparation series that reached across Kentucky, particularly to remote regions where traditional classes were hard to come by. The series was so successful and the need so great, KET ultimately distributed the series nationally. Over the years, KET continued to refine and expand its GED resources, working closely with the GED Testing Service®, to produce GED preparation materials on a variety of media to fit the times: VHS cassettes, DVDs and ultimately as a website compatible with all mobile devices. FastForward’s “always-available” convenience, Heintz said, has been a time-saving boon for her
students, who can now study while riding a bus or whenever they’ve got a few minutes to spare. Encouraged by the success Heintz had with her students, the Pinellas County School District ultimately became one of KET’s largest education clients, purchasing licenses to make FastForward available to all its adult education students county-wide. In fact, FastForward today is used by students in all 50 states and has become a trusted resource endorsed in the GED Testing Service’s all-in-one GED preparation course. “I think it’s called FastForward for a reason – because it gets you to where you need to go,” Heintz said. “I’ve used it with students ranging in age from 16 to 60. And it’s a beautiful thing to see them achieve their goals and get to where they’re able to teach their own children, go out into the workforce and give back to their communities.”
It’s once again back-to-school time. While children and parents look forward to an exciting new year of learning, there are others whose educational journey ended, for a variety of reasons, earlier than they may have wanted. For them, any time can be back to school time. Dropping out of high school does not mean dropping out of life and success. On the contrary, earning a GED credential can be the first step toward getting one’s life back on track – leading to better jobs or advanced educational opportunities. KET’s FastForward has been shown through independent research to be an extremely effective test-prep system – with a 90 percent pass rate. It is available through adult learning centers in Kentucky and across the nation, as well as to independent learners. Plus, many businesses, recognizing the need for a more advanced workforce, have seen the value in offering FastForward to their employees. For the more than 300,000 Kentuckians and 20 million people in the U.S. without a high school diploma, we hope earning a GED credential is the foundation on which much greater success will be built. If you’d like to explore KET’s learning resources for adults – as well as for early childhood and K-12 – we invite you to check out check out our many highly utilized educational services at KET.org/education. All the very best,
Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO

KET has created two new virtual field trip videos, giving students new ways to visit some of the Commonwealth’s most significant historic landmarks and industry centers. The first travels to the The Falls of the Ohio and tours the riverbank for a close-up look at the world’s largest exposed Devonian fossil beds. The other video takes students to AppHarvest in Morehead, where they can glimpse the future of agriculture and explore one of the world’s largest indoor farms. The field trips also feature classroom resources that get students involved exploring maps and growing their own vegetables. The Kentucky Field Trip videos are funded in part by the John R. Hall Endowment for Education. The field trips and other KET educational resources can be found at KET.org/collections.
