From the Chief Executive Officer
In that spirit of excellence, WHRO recently
received two Capital Region Emmy awards.
One for The Scene and another for our
Veterans Town Hall. It’s the first time in
my nine years that we’ve won these awards.
WHRO also won five Virginia Association of

Virginia. We’ve also produced 24 high school
core curriculum online courses designed to
help schools meet the new requirement that
all public high school students must complete
one online course in order to graduate. If
that’s not enough, our expertise in online
education led us to embark on workforce
development efforts, including SkillsOnline.

We have a unique and flexible business model.
We are a membership organization. We are
innovating across platforms. These are the

Programming Look Ahead to September
Just in time for the back-to-school season, PBS is hosting Spotlight Education Week from September 12-17, with
programming reporting on today’s classrooms and explaining how creativity and dedication to teaching all children
makes a difference in communities.
Here are just a few highlights:
Monday, September 12
10:00 p.m. - POV: All The Difference weaves together the stories of two promising young men as they navigate their lives in
low-income, high-risk communities in Chicago. The 90-minute film explores the factors in their lives that made all the difference –
an example of prioritizing education as a tool to secure a place in the middle class.
Tuesday, September 13
9:00 p.m. - FRONTLINE dives deep into the most pressing issues in education by updating two films. College, Inc. investigates
how Wall Street and a new breed of for-profit universities are transforming the college experience in America. Omarina’s Story
chronicles the divergent fates of two twins from the Bronx and sheds light on America’s dropout crisis and the brutal inequities in
American Education.
10:00 p.m. - TED Talks: Education Revolution is hosted by writer/comedian Baratunde Thurston and actress/singer Sara
Ramirez and includes short films, music, and inspiring speakers who are making a difference in our nation’s schools
and universities.
Wednesday, September 14
9:00 p.m. - NOVA: School of the Future, a two-hour documentary, looks at the school of the future by exploring “learning
science,” a complex and interdisciplinary new field that encompasses neuroscience, physiology, and the psychology of children.
Thursday, September 15
8:00 p.m. - Craft in America: Teachers begins its eighth season on PBS with a unique hour that celebrates teachers: craft
artists renowned for their own artistic visions, and committed to passing on their skills and passion for craft to new generations of
students and artists.
9:00 p.m. - Time for School (is a WNET/ITVS update of the award-winning documentary project that visited seven classrooms
in seven countries around the world. This 90-minute follow-up film will catch up with these children, who are now adults, to see
how their lives have turned out.
Saturday, September 17
2:00 p.m. - American Graduate Day 2016, supported by CPB, is a live, four-hour multiplatform broadcast that focuses on
organizations and individuals keeping kids on the path to graduation. The event explores the importance of mentorship through
the critical themes of early education, more and better learning, special deeds, STEAM, dropout prevention and re-engagement,
career readiness, and college completion.
Additionally, PBS NewsHour will broadcast an entire week of original stories as part of their Rethinking College series, taking a
critical look at how higher education is evolving to provide a better post-secondary learning experience, especially for people in
underserved communities with underrepresented populations. The segments range from a closer look at the low college graduation
rates among Latino males, to Second Chance Pell Grants for prisoners, and how Coding Bootcamps are challenging the traditional
college degree model.

WHRO Early Learning
WHRO is dedicated to early learning because those early years are crit­ic­al. By age
three, 85 per­cent of neur­al con­nec­tions are formed, mean­ing it’s dif­fi­cult for a child
who has heard few words to catch up to his peers once he enters the school system.
Re­search indicates lower socioeconomic chil­dren hear about 615 words per hour on
average, af
­fl u­ent chil­dren hear 2,153 on average. By age 4, a poor child has a listen­
ing vocab­u­lary of about 3,000 words, while a wealth­i­er child wields a 20,000-word
listen­ing vocab­u­lary.
In fact, the single-best pre­dict­or of a child’s aca­dem­ic suc­cess is not par­ent­al
edu­ca­tion or so­cioeco­nom­ic status, but rather the qual­ity and quantity of the
words that a baby hears dur­ing his or her first three years. That’s why at WHRO
we have developed an entire curriculum of resources dedicated to early learning.
From our 24/7 kids channel to an array of digital learning tools, summer camps,
and collaborations with regional libraries, we reach kids through a variety of ways.
Here’s an overview of what we offer kids and families across Eastern Virginia:
Digital Resources
Through PBS KIDS (www.pbskids.org) and PBS LAB (www.pbskids.org/lab) we
offer multimedia destinations specifically created for children ages 2-8. With fun,
quirky settings full of surprises, these sites empower kids to discover themselves,
define the diverse world around them, explore new relationships, and embrace a love
of learning. The sites feature popular age appropriate PBS characters from programs
such as Sesame Street, Super WHY!, Word World, Curious George, Sid the Science
Kid, Dinosaur Train, The Electric Company, WordGirl, Martha Speaks, Peg + Cat,
Arthur, Fetch, and Cyberchase. Our digital assets also feature video clips, games,
activities, and resources from the series, and the PBS LAB also offers new mobile
device apps focused on math, augmented reality games using camera phones, and
behind-the-scenes features.
Community Outreach
The WHRO Raising Readers Literacy Van tours throughout WHRO’s broadcast
region with more than 150 visits annually. Inside the van, children find ageappropriate books and games, selected to complement the on-air educational
programming WHRO offers daily.
The WHRO STEM Van is another brightly colored vehicle featuring children’s
favorite PBS characters from STEM-related shows. WHRO provides the instructor
and all the technical equipment and supplies for the pop-up makerspace and other
engineering activities.
Hey You Guys!!! If you’re a child of
the ‘70s (or parent of one) you most
likely remember the opening line toThe
Electric Company. In my day this was
a call to action, one that guaranteed
a half hour of sketch comedy, silly
animation, programming made just for
me. What I didn’t realize was that I
was gaining spelling and reading skills,
basically building a foundation crucial
for elementary school. While we are
known for our children’s programming
and lauded as a safe haven for
children, what most folks don’t know is
that PBS and WHRO are committed to
making a positive impact on the lives
of children though curriculum-based
entertainment with positive role models
and content designed to nurture a
child’s total well-being. It is because of
this commitment that we have a 24/7
dedicated channel television just
for kids.
WHRO Kids offers all children the
opportunity to explore new ideas
and new worlds through television.
With the added benefit of being
commercial-free, many parents know
our programming is a trusted source of
learning and entertainment for children
of all ages.
Visit whro.org/tv/schedule for our full
television schedule.

With our initiative First Books, we distribute thousands of books to area children
who would not otherwise own them. Books are distributed after parent and provider
trainings, after Raising Readers van visits, and at other community events.

Summer Camps
Super WHY! Reading Camps are 5-day interactive learning adventures that
show 4- and 5-year olds the power of reading and motivate them to play with
letters, sounds, and words through a comprehensive curriculum developed by
noted literacy experts.
Odd Squad “Be the Agent” Camps are modeled after the successful
SuperWhy! Reading Camps. The Odd Squad camps are 5-day immersive
learning environments where children use hands-on activities, digital games,
television episodes, and crafts as they take on the role of Odd Squad agents
and use their math skills to solve problems.
Parenting Workshops
PBS KIDS ScratchJr Code-to-Learn Camps are designed to introduce
children to creative coding by giving them the opportunity to create their own
stories, games, and collages with the PBS KIDS ScratchJr tablet app.

Library Collaborations
PBS KIDS Raising Readers Library Corners, located at partner libraries,
have books, online games, and literacy activities for children to use when
visiting. The first corner was set up at the Dr. Clarence V. Cuffee Library in
Chesapeake, and has since grown to include nine local libraries.
Martha Speaks Reading Buddies is designed to increase the vocabulary
of the Little Buddies and counteract the effects of the “fourth grade slump” for
the Big Buddies. Big Buddies (4th or 5th graders) and Little Buddies (Kindergarteners or 1st graders) meet for eight 45-minute sessions where they watch a
Martha Speaks show on DVD, read the selected book together, discuss and play
educational games, and then write in a Reading Buddies Journal.
The PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest, recently aligned to the Virginia
Standards of Learning, encourages children to write and illustrate their own
stories and is open to K-5 students. Local winners receive cash awards and
their families are invited to attend a special reception in their honor where
each winner is videotaped in the WHRO television studio reading their
winning entry.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Stay away from sugar. Eat your vegetables.
For thirty years, America’s childhood obesity rates have tripled, and today, nearly one in
three children in America are overweight or obese. These numbers are even more tragic
within low-income, high-risk communities.
As parents, teachers, and committed citizens in Hampton Roads, we have worked and
will continue to work hard to educate our children on healthy eating and exercise habits.
But how do we make sure that our work is lasting? How do we ensure that our children
are truly getting healthier?
WHRO and the Williamsburg Health Foundation came together to tackle these
questions and to design a creative, interactive way to ensure that the children in our
community were hearing and practicing healthy habits. This was the inception of
HealthBeat, an animated video series covering a span of health topics – asthma, sleep,
sugar, exercise – designed to educate children on healthy habits through song
and music.
Continuing on HealthBeat’s success, we will continue to ensure that this information
gets into each household in our community and that our children have the know-how
to enjoy a healthy lifestyle physically, mentally, and emotionally. We will lean on the
support of our schools, parents, and community.
The Spelling Bee
Throughout southeastern Virginia and
northeastern North Carolina, public
schools, independent schools, and
home school associations hold local
school bees and send their winners
to WHRO in Hampton Roads, where
the area’s finest middle school
spellers compete for the regional
title. The first place winner travels to
Washington, D.C., to compete in the
Scripps National Spelling Bee.
You can support and ensure that many more children continue to sing and dance their
way to a healthier lifestyle. Watch and share the videos at

Online Courses
Did you know that every Virginia high school student must now complete at least
one online course as a graduation requirement? WHRO Education offers textbook
independent, award-winning, and customizable online courses that help teachers enrich
the way they teach. These core curriculum courses are media rich, Standards of Learning
(SOL) aligned, and adaptable to any classroom situation. We also create custom content
for schools and other educational institutions and support the Virginia Department
of Education’s, Virtual Virginia program which offers 60 online Advanced Placement
(AP), world language, core academic, and elective courses to students across the
Commonwealth and nation.
Teacher Training
WHRO Education offers
instructor-facilitated online
courses from PBS and locally
produced online courses,
hands-on workshops, and
professional development
resources to help teachers
utilize cutting-edge technology
making the classroom an
engaging, interactive learning
environment. Over 1,000
teachers take the courses
every year.
Starting in late 2012, WHRO was awarded a five-year renewable contract by the Virginia
Department of Education to make eMediaVA free to all Virginia public school teachers
and their students. We were also able to secure additional philanthropic funding to extend
the service free of charge to all private and home school educators and their students for
at least five years. The contract was recently extended in 2016.
In the last General Assembly, our funding from the state was increased over the next two
years with an eye toward another five years of support. To date, we’ve established over
159,000 educator accounts with more being added daily.
We’re continuing to reach out to prominent Virginia educational, cultural, and scientific
organizations that might be interested in working with us to add their content to
eMediaVA as another way to get it out to the Virginia educational community and we
often submit the “learning objects” to PBS for national distribution.
eMediaVA recently won a Governor’s Technology Award and the National Educational
Telecommunications Association Award for Instructional Media.
“
I look forward to learning
online. I love the flexibility,
pacing and credit
opportunities. I have made
very good online friends.
Perhaps one day, we can
even meet in person.
“
eMediaVA
eMediaVA currently contains more than 125,000 “learning objects” from leading
organizations such as PBS, the National Defense Education Program, the Colonial
Williamsburg Foundation, the Science Museum of Virginia, The Valentine, NASA, SAS
Curriculum Pathways, the Smithsonian Museums, the National Archives, Virginia’s public
media stations, the University of Colorado, the Norfolk Public Library, NPR, ODU, and
many others.
Many students, especially
those in rural areas, cannot
take college level courses,
and must turn to new
online technology in order
to expand their horizons.

American Graduate: Let’s Make it Happen
A friend once asked me, “Why are schools providing so many resources for kids who aren’t
doing well in high school?” I thought about it and simply said, “Because we need them to
graduate.” Though my answer wasn’t very edifying or complicated, the truth is we all reap
the benefits when youth graduate: communities are better, businesses have a more qualified
workforce, there is measurable economic impact, and the youth themselves have a start at a
rewarding future.
Communities
The National Dropout Prevention Center reports that 82 percent of U.S. prisoners are high
school dropouts. A report from Fight Crime: Invest in Kids indicates “Dropouts are 3.5 times
more likely to be arrested than high school graduates and more than eight times as likely
to be incarcerated.” The report also indicates there is a correlation between an increase in
graduation rate and a decrease in crime. So what is the price to communities? The average
cost to incarcerate one youth in Virginia is $326 per day/$118,990 per year. The numbers
are astonishing, particularly when you compare that to the average college tuition for a state
resident at public college of around $79,000 for four years.
Businesses
Without a high school diploma, youth are not qualified for 90% of jobs in the United States.
The impact on businesses is felt throughout the state and nation as employers are unable
to find qualified workers with the basic skills needed for entry-level jobs. Recognizing the
importance of preparing youth to enter the workforce, and help students understand the
relevance of a diploma, many high schools are now incorporating hands-on training for
trades such as electronics, robotics, or carpentry. Students who graduate leave high school
prepared to work and/or continue with their education.
Economic Impact
When looking at the economic impact of dropouts vs. high school graduates, the evidence
adds up to cold hard cash. In 2012, Frontline reported a dropout can cost taxpayers an
average of $292,000 over a lifetime due to lost wages, taxes, increased social costs due to
crime, and health care. Conversely, a 90% graduation rate can impact more than just taxes.
Projections from the Alliance for Excellence in Education suggest that if the Hampton Roads
metropolitan area had reached a 90% graduation rate in 2013, there was the potential for
economic impact of $251 million through increased local car and home sales and
annual spending.
Youth
A youth with a high school diploma can lead a more fulfilling life, both emotionally and
financially. Studies show high school graduates are more likely to work toward a career, are
healthier, happier, live longer, less likely to become young single parents, and benefit from
the social/emotional experiences of high school. They can also earn $200,000 more than a
dropout over their lifetime.
Our Role
Helping youth graduate is more than helping one individual, it is about investing in your
community. Though you may feel you don’t have time, there is something that can fit in your
schedule. Eat lunch with a student once a week, volunteer for a one-day school beautification
project, provide an intern program at work, donate supplies to a school, attend a career day,
or just read with a child. 90% graduation rate by 2020, Let’s Make it Happen.

Workplace Ready
Closing the Skills Gap
One in six U.S. adults – nearly 36 million
people – have low basic skills in key areas
such as literacy, numeracy, and problem
solving. These skills are critical for success in
the workplace.
In response to this gap, WHRO launched
Workplace Ready learning modules available
to all potential employees who are looking to
enter the workforce. The modules are
designed to fit into any and every schedule.
The path to career success and
sustainability is evolving, however we will
always need certain essential skills.

And the Winning Design Is...
For the first time, local high school students
were invited to design an employment
advertisement for WHRO supporter, Bay
Diesel & Generator. It was not easy to select
from all the design entries received from
across the Commonwealth.
As we all know, first impressions are
everything. Designers often have the unique
challenge to visually articulate a compelling
message – this competition was no
different. The contestants worked fervently
and, after reviewing the original designs,
Kempsville High School was selected as the
contest winner!
Much thanks to Bay Diesel & Generator for
supporting the contest and providing the
unique opportunity.
Pictured left to right: Bill Harris,
Kempsville High Principal; Bert Schmidt,
President and CEO of WHRO; contest
winners, Annie Clarke and Alea Barry;
and Scott Wheeler, President of Bay
Diesel & Generator.
