Series Description
Inside California Education is an original approach to presenting compelling stories and relevant information, communicating to millions of Californians how our state’s education system affects our lives and lives of our children. The program explores the many critical, complex, and increasingly challenging issues in public education.
Inside California Education covers a variety of topics, where viewers visit the places and meet the people who set policy and educate our students. We travel the state, visiting school districts, large and small, urban and rural. Inside California Education will talk with teachers, school administrators, legislators, and parents to provide our viewers with new, provocative, and compelling information about the challenges and opportunities facing their schools and their children.
Program Details
Among the many issues we will explore are the budget and funding for K-12 education, the new national common core state standards, special education, school facilities, career tech, cyber bullying and the effects of social media, new education technology, and many more.
Each 30-minute episode of Inside California Education will present informative and visually compelling stories, colorfully illustrated with interstitial material and insightful interviews.
Our Inside California Education team of reporters will explore and show you how education is structured and supported at the most basic levels. We will capture the real story of how parents and their children are impacted by our K-12 education system.
Program Topics
Here are just a few of the topics that Inside California Education will be exploring:
- Common Core State Standards

- Special Education
- Career Pathways
- Health & Safety

- and many more.
The Inside California Education Experience
Both PBS and KVIE Public Television, producers of Inside California Education, enjoy an untarnished reputation for the highest production and editorial standards, and unparalleled loyalty and trust from millions of viewers throughout California.
More than anything, the program will demonstrate viewersʼ insatiable appetite for knowledge about our education system, the teachers and administrators who teach and manage, and the places where our children are housed, held safe and learn. This weekly celebration of education will gain a status rarely achieved by any television program—becoming a brand and an image all its own.
The true measure of any television seriesʼ success is its ability to generate a consistent audience. Inside California Education will establish itself as an icon of public television, and will be one of the most-watched programs.
Inside California Education is being carried on public television stations in all markets across California.
Inside California Education Online
An integral component of the Inside California Education multimedia package is https://www.insidecaled.org, the website where a wealth of information including show descriptions, background stories, and educational support organizations will be available.
Every story from Inside California Education will be archived to the site for viewing by the general public. The Inside California Education website will provide a navigation link which will allow professional educational organizations and school districts to embed this link on their website. That link will take viewers back to our site to view the stories and explore the other features and information found there.
Inside California Education will also have a presence on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. Information from the broadcast program and follow- ups will be available on those media services to keep viewers informed of content in the upcoming shows and allow an online forum for discussion of important issues.
Like the broadcast audience, Inside California Education online audience will enjoy a media-rich website that will become a valued resource for viewers and browsers alike. With prominent placement on each page of the site, sponsors can expect significant co-branding in an off-air environment while enjoying numerous referrals to their own Web site.
The Public Television Audience
What is universally hailed as the best television attracts some of the most well-heeled, affluent, and influential viewers available on any medium, anywhere. Itʼs a powerful consumer group with high amounts of discretionary income. Not just blessed with high levels of discretionary income, PBS contributors are highly educated.
Educated, Affluent, Influential
They appreciate the variety of smart, thought-provoking programming available only on PBS. And, PBS is the number one place to reach viewers who are tuned into the world around them – engaged in stimulating programming and engaged in their communities. PBS contributors are movers and shakers – active in issues of politics, media, and community affairs. The net result is a viewership with a ‘bottom line’ far stronger than you can reach effectively on any other broadcast or print promotion opportunity.
