where she instructs the next generation of Kentucky teachers. Over the years, thousands of students — including such notables as Governor Andy Beshear and Lexington Police Chief Lawrence

Weathers — have passed through her classroom and benefited from her personal touch and life lessons on kindness and empathy. “Teachers are in the business of passing along knowledge to students

KET BRINGS THE WORLD RIGHT INTO OUR HOMES AND SCHOOLS, PASSING ALONG KNOWLEDGE IN A MAGNIFICENT AND COLORFUL WAY. - Marian Moore Sims

— and what a treasure that is, to be able to pass something of value to someone else,” Sims said. It’s a role, she said, that’s akin to what KET does for the Commonwealth. “KET brings the world right into our homes and schools, passing along knowledge in a magnificent and colorful way,” Sims said. “It’s such a wonderful resource that’s free and available for everyone to use. I can’t imagine a world without KET because it’s become such an integral part of my life.” In her early years, teaching sixth grade at Cassidy Elementary and Morton Middle schools, Sims said KET’s educational resources were an essential part of her classroom routine, augmenting her daily lessons with engaging visual content that captured students’ attention and made them want to learn. Decades later, Sims said she’s still using KET virtually every day, whether pointing new teachers to KET’s professional development courses or unwinding after a long day with some of her favorite Masterpiece dramas. She says she always enjoys KET’s programs, especially those such as Doc Martin and All Creatures Great and Small that offer a humorous take on cultivating empathy for others. “When you really get down to

it, kindness is a skill that you have to teach just like any other skill,” Sims added. “And programs such as All Creatures Great and Small do such a wonderful job of showing how empathy, both to people and animals, plays such an important role in how we all can get along better.” KET’s children’s programs, such as Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, likewise play a similar role for Kentucky’s youngest learners, introducing them not only to letters and numbers but also to lessons about community and tolerance, she adds. “Programs like Sesame Street not only keep a child entertained but also build their interest in the world and expand their vocabulary with new words and concepts that help them grow,” she said. And KET’s educational resources — such as Let’s Learn Kentucky, which offers helpful tips on preparing toddlers for school, and the many video and animated series on PBS LearningMedia which present lessons on Kentucky’s history, geography and economy — go a long way in helping parents and caregivers bring learning into their homes. “KET is just such a valuable tool because it has something for everybody, and it’s always there when you need it,” she said.

TODAY’S KET It has been another busy year at KET. We began the year with new seasons of The Farmer & The Foodie and Kentucky Life exploring the people, cuisine and culture of the Commonwealth. We introduced a new series, Inside Louisville, featuring conversations with notable and newsworthy personalities from our largest city. Education remained at the forefront of our services. In classrooms, News Quiz was once again one of the top nationally utilized resources on PBS LearningMedia. FastForward and Workplace Essential Skills continued to help adult learners across the country. And the Young Writers Contest drew a record number of student submissions. We created several new original productions, including The Alice and Wade Houston Story, Jim Host: Game Changer, Inside the Kentucky Derby, The Legacy of Black Horsemen and Stars of Tomorrow Opera Gala. In public affairs, we featured discussions on Kentucky Tonight about important statewide issues and talked with candidates in the primary and general elections. Kentucky Edition highlighted stories of recovery — from flooding in Eastern Kentucky and tornados in Western Kentucky — and resilience from across the Commonwealth. And leading voices convened on KET Forums to discuss child abuse and neglect, autism, addiction, early literacy and veteran’s healthcare and mental health. We’re honored to have served you, your family and every Kentuckian throughout the year. We thank you for your support and wish you a wonderful holiday season.

Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO

COVER STORY

UNRAVELING

AGATHA CHRISTIE, THE MYSTERY QUEEN

In this three-part mini-series, British historian Lucy Worsley turns her powers of investigation to the mysterious figure of Agatha Christie, uncovering the story of one of the most famous, complex — and misunderstood — women of the 20th century. More than 100 years since the publication of her first novel, Christie remains the most successful novelist of all time, outsold only by Shakespeare and the Bible. In 75 novels, plays and countless short stories, she defined the detective genre. But the real woman behind the literary persona has long remained an enigma. How did this seemingly conventional British matron write so convincingly about the dark art of murder? As in the best of Christie’s novels, clues are hiding in plain 4
