| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Horseland takes "tweens" from very different backgrounds and a stable full of horses, also from different backgrounds, to show viewers how to get along with people of different backgrounds, accept responsibility and develop self-confidence, self-esteem and a strong, positive character. Horseland is more than a stable where kids learn to ride and take care of their animals. It's a microcosm where pre-teen girls and boys learn to resolve the same issues that most kids face today in their daily lives as they struggle to become positive, productive adults. Each week, Sarah, Alma, Molly and Bailey strive to become the best competitive riders they can possibly be. This entails learning not only the finer points of dressage, but also how to take care of their horses, the stable, and each other. They confront problems that test their honesty, integrity, self-confidence and friendship. Their problems, and how they deal with them, serve to provide concrete examples of positive social behavior that can serve as excellent models for the viewing audience. Horseland's engaging preteen characters along with their horses and assorted other "talking" stable animals (a cat, dog, and a pig) interact in clear and concrete actions that model appropriate prosocial behaviors and provide questions, comments, observations and explanations. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Each episode begins as Cake and her friends gather to discuss their personal lives: events at school, personal aspirations, problems, expectations, friendships, worries - in short, the array of issues that most young adolescents confront on an almost daily basis. The four characters are highly supportive of each other, and they clearly and concretely display positive interpersonal interactions. Amy, as the youngest, frequently asks the kinds of questions that enable Cake, Miracle, and/or Benjamin to engage in some pretty straightforward prosocial teaching - helping her with everything from the meaning of a current verbal expression, to how to deal with the fact that her mother won't let her get her ears pierced. Cake and her crew consistently model mutual respect and admiration, supportiveness, and the ability to engage in the kinds of cooperative give-and-take necessary for the successful functioning of almost any group. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | It is our intention that all segments will- 1. Counteract gender stereotypes (both in roles and interactional style). 2. Use language appropriate to the target age. 3. Model standard grammar. 4. Refrain from zapping, crashing, and smashing animated characters. (pre-schoolers have trouble distinguishing between animation and reality). 5. Model safe and responsible behavior. 6. Keep humor at child's level. 7. Encourage parental watching with occasional humor aimed at the adult. There is good evidence that the educational value of any program is enhanced when an adult is there to talk with the child about it. 8. Encourage active rather than passive viewing - story elements that allow viewer to generate hypotheses and make predictions about outcome. 9. Use well-established attention getters for this age range: animation, children's voices, and music. 10. Captivate children with different learning styles: - For those who rely on visual stimulation there will be plenty to look at. Every Scarry scene is full of visual excitement. For those who are predominantly tuned to the auditory and verbal, there will be interesting characters and story lines, conversation, music, and song. Those attuned to movement will be captured by animation, action, the ever-present vehicles - bikes, motorcycles, trains, trucks, boats, tractors, road-graders, planes, etc. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | This series is designed to encourage young viewers to accept and value diversity. Each week the team of young Stargate trainees enter a new world. As they encounter cultures, races, and life forms foreign to any they have ever dreamed of, they also face life-threatening problems that require each member of the team to contribute to the well-being of all. As the young cadets learn to interact with and value "people" from different backgrounds and cultures, so too will the viewing audience. The trainees model many of the attitudes and behaviors that today's young people must learn in order to function well in a highly diverse society. The episodes emphasize getting along with others who are very different from oneself, working well with one's own team, and the individual character traits and abilities that go into the making of a good Stargate warrior - and, of course, a good person. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | For young people today, new information is generally no more than a mouse-click away. Knowledge is readily there for the taking if kids simply know how to appropriately access it and effectively make use of it. In this context, many of the most useful and important things that youngsters can learn center on discovery, analysis and problem-solving -- how do kids get the right information and make proper use of it. What questions should be asked? How does one assess veracity? How does one weigh alternatives? How are decisions best arrived at? How does one decide when aims can be accomplished independently, and if help is needed, how does one go about enlisting support? Above all, how can goals be achieved ethically and with regard to the greater good. In an enticing new world filled with excitement, mystery, and danger, Magi-Nation addresses these vital learning goals. Tony, Edyn and Strag along with their human and decidedly non-human colleagues model their successful, and sometimes less than successful, attempts to analyze difficult situations, set appropriate goals, and creatively seek solutions to the dire dilemmas in which they find themselves. In the course of a series of intriguing codes, riddles and other puzzles that Tony, Edyn and Strag are presented with along the way, viewers are furthermore given the engaging opportunity to not only observe others go through the problem solving cycle, but to make use of their unique knowledge base and burgeoning problem solving skills to address conundrums on their own. |
