Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. On The Spot is a series tapping knowledge across a series of subject areas: geography, art,technology, science, math, history, language, music, and sports. It also addresses general cultural knowledge. The format is a series of seemingly random questions to individuals who are either of school age or adults past the age of high school graduation. There are three fundamental educational benefits to this format. First, it taps into fact retrieval in the curriculum. Second, and more important, it expands the information beyond fact retrieval. Third, and most important, it addresses what educators call non cognitive factors for student success. These are factors that can measurably improve student achievement without specifically involving material to be tested. These include self-esteem and frames in which students see learning occurring. By removing information from the academic silos where it is generally taught and moving it, literally, to the mall, it forces a synthesis that is difficult to achieve in an academic setting. The fact that correct answers are giving by diverse ethnicities and ages, by both genders, and not by stereotypes of smart people' is essential. It means that anyone can own information. The fact that young people will see this on television in a non academic setting is also very important. Whatever the curriculum or information, knowledge becomes the star-and is demonstrated by every type of person. Target age group teens 13-16.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Wimzies House is targeted at 3 to 5 year old children and designed to contribute to the developmental and educational needs of children in this age group. Three to five year old children are accomplishing phenomenal growth and change in their physical, cognitive (language, perception, and intellectual), and social-emotional development. Growth and change in the physical domain impacts the range of opportunities they have to experience new environments and opportunities for social interaction. New environments and social interactions impact their socio-emotional development. And, their vastly increased language ability and growing cognitive capacity affects both their ability to regulate and express emotions and their ability to mentally represent their experiences. The integrated nature of their rapid development during this time period makes this a time when the childrens imagination becomes vivid, complicated and exciting. Three to five year olds use their imagination to assimilate new learnings, develop empathy and a sense of humor and begin to develop a conscience. Their imaginations and their fantasy play help children understand the complexity of the communities they are venturing into as they expand their range beyond home to schools, neighborhoods and social groups.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. On The Spot is a series tapping knowledge across a series of subject areas: geography, art,technology, science, math, history, language, music, and sports. It also addresses general cultural knowledge. The format is a series of seemingly random questions to individuals who are either of school age or adults past the age of high school graduation. There are three fundamental educational benefits to this format. First, it taps into fact retrieval in the curriculum. Second, and more important, it expands the information beyond fact retrieval. Third, and most important, it addresses what educators call non cognitive factors for student success. These are factors that can measurably improve student achievement without specifically involving material to be tested. These include self-esteem and frames in which students see learning occurring. By removing information from the academic silos where it is generally taught and moving it, literally, to the mall, it forces a synthesis that is difficult to achieve in an academic setting. The fact that correct answers are giving by diverse ethnicities and ages, by both genders, and not by stereotypes of smart people' is essential. It means that anyone can own information. The fact that young people will see this on television in a non academic setting is also very important. Whatever the curriculum or information, knowledge becomes the star-and is demonstrated by every type of person. Target age group teens 13-16.
