Television in Odessa classrooms boosts student learning
In Ector County ISD classrooms, 1784 students were tested last fall and spring. Students watching The Electric Company advanced up to 1.5 years versus 1.0 year for non viewers. Durrett cites lead in follow up instruction and says programs mainly come from Odessa Cablevision. Educational TV costs total 246,970 with half funded by federal and state agencies, including 365 color receivers and tape recorders. Durrett notes select programs fit grade levels and emphasize learning value, while noting a lack of locally produced shows.
