Though a county rich in tradition,
it’s sometimes poor in literacy. And
that’s one tradition educators such as
Denva Smith, Clay County’s district
reading coach, work daily to change.
“A lot of our children have been
reading below grade level,” said Smith,
a Clay County native. “We have been
working on intervening with these
children for several years.”
Integral to that intervention,
Smith says, has been incorporating
the research-based training and
enrichment materials KET provides to
teachers for professional development.
“The videos have been an asset to
us. Some of the videos have specific
strategies the teachers model for us
Kentucky schools.
“That is just a perfect fit for what I
do,” Smith said. As the district reading
coach, Smith holds monthly training
sessions with instructional coaches
for each of the county’s schools. The
educators view the KET materials,
study the strategies they present, and
carry them back to their schools for
implementation.
“One of the things teachers like so
much about it is that it is Kentucky
classrooms,” Smith said. “That really
establishes that credibility — that
these teachers they are watching
are using the same standards that
we use, and are held to that same
accountability.”
the time they’d been tested in the
2007 spring semester, 81 percent of
the primary students were reading on
level.
One first grader in particular, she
noted, progressed from reading on a
kindergarten level at the beginning of
the school year, to a nearly third-grade
level at the end of the year.
“KET is a resource that we
continue to choose. It’s there, we
have it, it’s good quality, it’s aligned
with state standards,” she notes. “We
know KET and we trust that they have
provided us with information aligned
with those standards.”
Smith praised the methods used
in KET professional development,
“If our teachers are given a specific way, or a
systematic way, to teach something and have a good
model, then the students are going to benefit from it.”
to see,” she said. “If I could describe
coaching simply, it would be one-onone professional development. The
coach gets the knowledge and learns
the skill — and then they share that
with others at their school.”
One of KET’s reading professional
development resources Clay County
uses is Literacy Strategies in Action.
This award-winning resource
— honored as top teacher in-service
program in 2007 by the National
Educational Telecommunication
Association and produced in
partnership with the Kentucky
Department of Education — features

While an educator who primarily
trains other teachers, Smith says
her goal is to always keep student
achievement, and what is going to
work for children, in mind.
“If I feel disconnected from
students, I just focus on my coaches
and realize that they are my classroom.
I teach them — and they share it in
their buildings.”
And the results in student
achievement have been remarkable.
Smith proudly points to a dramatic
increase.
“In the 2002-2003 school year,
41 percent of primary students were
reading on grade level,” she said. By

noting that the video and multimedia
materials address critical teaching
needs through in-depth presentations,
real-world classroom examples, and
extensive follow-up resources.
“If our teachers are given a specific
way, or a systematic way, to teach
something and have a good model,
then the students are going to benefit
from it,” she said.
“I’ve got books and books of
research on these shelves that support
that … but I’ve seen it in our own
children, firsthand, that in using those
research-based strategies—that’s what
it’s all about.”

Kentucky celebrates bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth
I
t takes a person of enormous stature for folks to
celebrate his birth for 200 years. And no one fits that
bill more completely than the 16th president of the
United States, Kentuckian Abraham Lincoln.
Continuing the two-year celebration — which included
the Kentucky Life special production Lincoln: ‘I, too, am a
Kentuckian.’ — KET offers a wealth of programs airing the
second week of February in honor of his birth.
Young Lincoln
KET1 Wednesday, February 4 • 10:30/9:30 pm CT
KET2 Sunday, February 8 • 10:30/9:30 pm CT
In this program, discover how the joys and trials of
Lincoln’s boyhood years formed his personality, shaped his
early political notions, and molded his character.
The documentary features several notable historians
who share their insight on this little-known chapter in
Lincoln’s life and legacy, focusing on Lincoln’s close bonds
with his family and the numerous personal tragedies that
he was forced to endure during his formative years. His
childhood experiences shaped his attitudes and cast a dark
shadow of depression that would remain deeply ingrained
in him throughout his life.

Lincoln: Prelude to the Presidency
KET1 Thursday, February 5 • 9/8 pm CT
KET2 Wednesday, February 11 • 10/9 pm CT
Riding through prairie grass on trails just barely wide
enough for his horse, Lincoln traveled more than 500 miles
each spring and fall as a lawyer on Illinois’ Eighth Judicial
Circuit. His experiences from 1837 to 1860 on muddy
roads, in homes of friends, and in courtrooms on the
circuit shaped the views and honed the skills that guided
him when he became president.
American Experience
“The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln”
KET1 & KET HD Monday, February 9 • 9/8 pm CT
KET2 Sunday, February 15 • 9/8 pm CT
On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated at
Ford’s Theatre in Washington. Over the next 12 days,
as a fractured nation mourned, the largest manhunt
ever attempted closed in on his assassin, the 26-year-old
renowned actor John Wilkes Booth.
Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Chris
Cooper, this program features interviews with the nation’s
foremost Lincoln scholars who recount a great American drama: two tumultuous months
when the joy of peace was shattered by the heartache of Lincoln’s death.
“When people wept for Lincoln, or when they went to their diaries and
they drew black around the pages of those days, they were really weeping for
themselves,” says historian David W. Blight in the film. “They were weeping for
their own kids. They were weeping for their own losses in the war. We mourn for
ourselves even when we mourn a great public leader.”
Kentucky Life Special “Lincoln: ‘I, too, am a Kentuckian.’”
KET1 Tuesday, February 10 at 8/7 pm CT
Finding the real human being behind the icon is one of the goals of this
KET production, produced in part with a grant from the Kentucky Historical
Society and the Kentucky Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.
There are few figures in American history that have attained this native
son’s status — in fact, most historians agree that America truly didn’t become
America until after his rise to the presidency. In this special, Kentucky Life’s Dave
Shuffett searches Kentucky, Illinois, and the nation’s capital for clues to the man
who surrounded himself with Kentuckians: from his wife, Lexington native
Mary Todd; to his law partners; to his best friend, Louisvillian Joshua Speed.
Looking for Lincoln
KET1 & KET HD Wednesday, February 11 • 9/8 pm CT
African American Lives’ Henry Louis Gates, the Harvard professor who
looked into Oprah’s roots, explores the life and legacy of the man widely
considered one of America’s best and most enigmatic presidents. The
documentary addresses many of the controversies surrounding Lincoln — race,
equality, religion, politics, depression — by carefully interpreting evidence from
those who knew him and those who study him today.
Lincoln Bicentennial Gala
KET1 Thursday, February 12 • 9/8 pm CT
A concert kicking off the nationwide celebration of the 200th anniversary of Abraham
Lincoln’s birth, featuring actor Sam Waterston, the Louisville Orchestra, Tony Trischka,
Metropolitan Opera star Angela Brown, and the world premiere of Lincoln at Ease by
composer Peter Schickele. Taped in February 2008 at the Kentucky Center for the Performing
Arts in Louisville, with funding provided by the Kentucky Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial
Commission, the Kentucky Historical Society, and the Kentucky Arts Council.

Louisville may seem like an unlikely place to find
America’s largest Victorian neighborhood, but this living
museum south of Louisville’s downtown business district
was conceived to be a queen among neighborhoods. Travel
back in time to the area now known as Old Louisville and
to the site of the Southern Exposition; by the time it closed,
a million people had visited and a surge in residential
development was underway. In 1885 alone, 260 homes were
built — the most lavish of them along Third Street, the first
major Louisville thoroughfare to be paved with asphalt.

This month, television
will experience an
historic moment —
On Tuesday, February 17, the
nation’s TV broadcasters will complete
their transition to an all-digital
format — a newer, more efficient,
broadcast technology that offers
viewers dramatically clearer pictures
and better sound than the traditional
analog system.
This change will affect millions of
households that either receive only overthe-air signals — and those that have
secondary over-the-air TV sets in their
bedrooms or kitchens.
14
Februar y 2009
Now, whether you receive KET over the
air or via cable or satellite, everyone can
enjoy the benefits of digital transmission
in quality programming offered by KET.
So explore the world of Nature with
high-definition broadcasts of gorgeous
scenery and animal life; see modern
technology with a crisp digital picture
when you tune to Nova. The lush and
lavish Masterpiece productions will
shine even brighter, brought to you now
in high-definition — and HD-exclusives
such as Our Kentucky, An Evening with
Eartha Kitt, and Great Performances at
the Met “Doctor Atomic” are yours for the
watching, thanks to the dawning of the TV
age of digital!
www.ket.org
15
Warning!
this is not a test!
Digital conversion is coming February 17 — make sure you’re prepared
If you have one or more analog televisions hooked up to an antenna, now is the time to act to
ensure you continue to receive KET, and all broadcast signals, after the official nationwide
transition to digital February 17.
Don’t panic though; there’s still time. Here’s what you need to know.
Get a digital signal. If you’ve got an analog television, you won’t see anything at all after the transition.
To get the signal, you can do one of three things:
1. Purchase a digital-to-analog converter box that plugs into your analog television. This will allow you to receive digital television signals free over the air via an antenna. (More on antennas below.)
Boxes cost between $40 and $60 and are available at electronics retailers. U.S. households can still request up to two coupons valued at $40 each to help defray the cost of boxes, but there is now a waiting list. For more information on obtaining
converter box coupons, call 1-888-DTV-2009 or go online at www.dtv2009.gov.
2. Purchase a new television set with a built-in digital tuner.
3. Subscribe to cable or satellite. Please check with the providers in your area first to see what KET channels they offer.
Antennas: if you’re currently receiving your signal over the air, you’ll need one!
With digital television, antennas matter more than ever! If today — before the conversion — you receive a clear analog signal,
your current antenna setup should work to receive the digital signal. If, however, your current analog signal is weak or you experience interference like a snowy picture or “ghosting,” you might have a problem receiving digital signals. If fact, if your antenna is
insufficient, you’re likely to see no picture at all!
There’s good news, though. There are several things you can do to improve how your antenna receives
digital signals:
1. Make sure you’re receiving the best possible analog signal with your current antenna.
2. Try pointing your antenna in a different direction, moving it higher, or relocating it.
3. Manufacturers make roof top and attic antennas, as well as powered, amplified antennas.
One of these might do the job for your configuration.
KET is here to help!
If you need direct assistance, give us a call at 866-291-8189.

asked questions at www.ket.org/dtv.

KET2 Begins Wednesday, February 11
7:30/6:30 pm CT
Inspired by the popular Make: magazine,
this series capitalizes on a new do-it-yourself
techno-trend sweeping the country called the
“maker movement.” The New York Times dubs
it “an insurgency of the inventive, the curious
and the technologically restless,” and the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch calls it “Martha Stewart for
supergeeks.” Whether it’s inventing, “reventing,” recycling, or upcycling, the movement is
all about creativity, discovery, and a return to
hands-on ingenuity.

Woodson — the son of former slaves
who spent his childhood working
Kentucky coal mines and went on to

established Negro History Week which

blacks and white abolitionists who tried
to help them.

Harlan celebrates
‘Higher Ground’
“Finding Higher Ground,” a new Kentucky Muse documentary, premiered to an enthusiastic crowd at Southeast
Kentucky Community and Technical College December
16 in the same auditorium where the play on which the
program is based was presented. Many members of the
performance cast attended, along with college president
Dr. Bruce Ayers.
“Finding Higher Ground” tells the story of the community’s use of drama and music to bring people together
to address the life-and-death problem of prescription
drug abuse. This powerful and moving story began airing
on KET in January.
