| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Series is 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 cirriculum. Second, and more important, it expands the inforation 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 to be tested. These include self-esteem and frames in which students see learning occurring. |
