American Graduate: Let’s Make it Happen

The staggering rate of dropouts in America poses a serious threat to our national welfare -- and to the lives of young people at risk. More than 25% of the cur-rent ninth graders will not graduate from high school. It is a problem that must be solved. Public media is joining the fight -- with a bold initiative, American Graduate.

American Graduate: Let’s Make it Happen is a public media initiative supported by the Corportation for Public Broadcasting, Vegas PBS and other partners to help local communities address the dropout crisis. American Graduate builds on pub-lic media’s long-standing commitment to education by convening conversations, forming and strengthening partnerships between public television and radio stations along with local schools, businesses and community organizations to help students graduate.

Vegas PBS is working with national experts, state leaders, Clark County School District (CCSD) Divisions, students, parents and teachers of target schools to develop meaningful messaging, educational resources, and professional development resources. A three-pronged approach has been developed to reach all levels of the community: Outreach in the Community, Production on-air and Online Resources.

tive environment daily for youth in their community.

Vegas PBS

launched Keeping Kids Fit as a long-term project addressing childhood obesity.

The Vegas PBS Keeping Kids Fit project is modeled after the successful Vegas PBS Ready To Learn community outreach program. It targets low income families with children ages 2

, with a special emphasis on African-American and Hispan-ics, to promote a lifetime of healthy habits. Vegas PBS would like to acknowledge the role of the Corporation for Public

Broadcasting for selecting and supporting the Vegas PBS Keeping Kids Fit project as a national model.

The project is guided by a community advisory council

of

childhood nutrition experts, educators, health professionals,

and community leaders. Vegas PBS also works with a wide array of companies, organizations, schools, foundations and individuals as community partners who participate in and support the project.

One exciting element of the Vegas PBS Keeping Kids Fit project

is the use of

multiple forms of technology ranging from

television broadcasts to our website, podcasts and rich online opportunities. Groups of children have recorded and reflected upon striving for a healthy lifestyle by using video cameras to

document their experiences for broadcast and web-based offerings.

Through this family-based outreach project, we have produced two, one-hour television programs featuring health experts and civic leaders.

Beyond discussing the issues, Vegas PBS also provides workshops and online resources that can help children and families maintain healthy lifestyles.

Vegas PBS hopes to foster a community-wide civic discussion on the issues of

childhood obesity, nutrition

and exercise which will help address this

important community need.

A 7 -Step Lesson Plan for Teachers Using Television in the Classroom

Instructional television programs can add a new dimension to your classroom and promote active learning among your students. The following steps can guide you in preparing a lesson using ITV. To begin, look through your ITV Resource Guide and choose a series that fits your needs. Refer to the individual series page where you will find a complete description of the content covered, as well as specific program titles. The series and program descriptions outlined in the ITV Resource Guide will help you determine how the series can be integrated into your curriculum. Teacher guides for individual series provide a more complete summary of every program. Many of these guides list excellent pre- and post-viewing activities. After choosing the appropriate series and determining how you are going to acquire the series, you can then begin to plan your lesson.

1. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Start with specific, identified objectives. For ITV lessons, there are three main objective considerations: •Are the objectives for the lessons tied to your curriculum? •Determine the learning objectives of the ITV program. Many times objectives are stated in the teacher guide for each program. •Most ITV programs have several layers of information, so during previewing you may determine what specific information you wish to emphasize to enhance specific lessons.

2. LEAD-IN ACTIVITIESLead-in activities should set the tone for viewing and let students know how the program material relates to previous lessons or subsequent activities. Some generic suggestions for previewing activities are:• Review vocabulary or key concepts in the program.• Do a “story mapping” type of activity. Tell students the main topic of the program and ask them what they think

will be included. By utilizing questioning techniques, you can make viewing more interactive as students watch to see if their ideas are included.

3. FOCUS VIEWING ACTIVITIESFocus questions can make viewing more interactive by involving the students in the information presented. You may ask students specific informational questions that will be answered in the program; ask intuitive or interpretive questions, such as assigning students to identify with various characters for discussion following the program; or ask students to develop questions unanswered in the program concerning topics they would like to know more about.

4. SEGMENTED VIEWING ACTIVITIESSegmenting can be a valuable technique to enhance students’ learning while enabling you to adapt the medium to your teaching style. Segmenting (showing only a portion of the program at a time, or pausing the video during viewing) a program enables you to prepare the learner for success. By preparing your students for the learning objective of a segment, the student is tuned in for a specific purpose. For example, you may choose to show only a portion of the program that illustrates a specific lesson objective. It is recommended that ITV programs be viewed with the lights on (or sufficient natural light) so that students may take notes during the programs. This also allows you to watch your students’ reactions to various parts of the programs.

Segmenting activities may include:• Pausing the video for a still picture to point out background visuals, characters’ expressions or a longer look

at an object.• Using frame advance/slow motion for an extended view of a process.• Pausing and having students predict what will happen next, proposing possible solutions or stating what

they will do in the given situation.• Presenting an activity or a question for one segment, then a new question for the next segment.

A 7 -Step Lesson Plan for Teachers Using Television in the Classroom (Cont.)

5. POST-VIEWING DISCUSSIONS

To give students an opportunity to react to the program, express opinions, ask questions about what they have seen, and to review, reinforce and elaborate on the concepts presented, plan time for discussion following the viewing. “Tell me what you saw” is a good starting point for discussion.

By talking about the program, a review of the concepts presented comes from the students rather than from the teacher.

This type of response also gives you information about which concepts caught students’ attention, allowing you to gauge follow-up activities to expand on students’ interests. Post-viewing time may also be used as an opportunity for instilling critical viewing skills, discussing technical quality, the transfer from print to video, character portrayals and the use of visuals or sound effects to enhance the content.

6. FOLLOW-THROUGH ACTIVITIESActivities should be planned to reinforce and integrate concepts presented, and provide “hands-on” experiences with the information. Activities may include:

•role-playing •research •small group work •field trips •reading or anything your imagination suggests •producing a class video

7. EVALUATION

Your evaluation of the success of the lesson is an important part of any instructional process. Consider whether objectives were met and if additional information was (or could have been) highlighted. Was the video used as effectively as possible? What additional activities might you integrate next time? What techniques worked well and could be incorporated into future lessons? Evaluation of each component of the lesson can provide valuable insight into the use of video with your students and enhance your use of the medium.
