| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Since learning by observing others is the basic way humans learn to make behavior judgments, The Real Winning Edge series seeks to expose youth to other youth who have consistently made the behavior choices that have helped them have a greater sense of internal significance and acceptance, resulting in a more self-directed personality. They are more able to negotiate the "challenges" inherent in life. The youth profiled in the series are chosen for their adoptions of pro-social values and principles that have become the ethos of their behavior. Thus the characteristics demonstrated by the stories of these youth give rise to adherence to these sound choices that have given them the "real winning edge" to life, such as: 1)discovering where their talents lie and their pursuit of developing that "gift" 2) developing an appreciation for honesty as a fundamental part of social responsibility to others 3) developing a sense of self-discipline by learning to balance school work with social activities and friends and developing their sense of mission and purpose in life, and 4) developing a sense of internal acceptance that allows them to stand against activities such as substance abuse, violence, promiscuity, etc., that can hurt themselves as well as others. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Since learning by observing others is the basic way humans learn to make behavior judgments, The Real Winning Edge series seeks to expose youth to other youth who have consistently made the behavior choices that have helped them have a greater sense of internal significance and acceptance, resulting in a more self-directed personality. They are more able to negotiate the "challenges" inherent in life. The youth profiled in the series are chosen for their adoptions of pro-social values and principles that have become the ethos of their behavior. Thus the characteristics demonstrated by the stories of these youth give rise to adherence to these sound choices that have given them the "real winning edge" to life, such as: 1)discovering where their talents lie and their pursuit of developing that "gift" 2) developing an appreciation for honesty as a fundamental part of social responsibility to others 3) developing a sense of self-discipline by learning to balance school work with social activities and friends and developing their sense of mission and purpose in life, and 4) developing a sense of internal acceptance that allows them to stand against activities such as substance abuse, violence, promiscuity, etc., that can hurt themselves as well as others. |
