Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. (MULTICAST EMDT) On the Spot was created by the award-winning producers of the long running educational and informational show, Animal Atlas, now in its seventh successful season of national syndication. Last year, the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State Officers released the Common Core State Standards Initiative, an attempt to set a national curriculum to bridge the standards gap between states. The content of On the Spot, a 30-minute E/I program for teens ages 13-16, is based on the Common Core State Standards. The show uses an entertaining on-the-street format to test how well young people know the information contained in their own national curriculum. Then, On the Spot explains the answer to each question. The pedagogical approach of testing first and explaining the answer second has been shown to enhance retention and understanding. On the Spot challenges viewers to recall middle and high school knowledge about history, science, math, English, second languages, health, geography, art, music, and technology, and then teaches them the answer.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. (MULTICAST EMDT) One of the striking aspects of being an adolescent today is that whether they are urban or rural and regardless of income levels, there are some life choices that must be made as they grow and develop. These are the pre-teen and teenage boys and girls who are growing up in a real culturally diverse, highly mobile, dynamically technical, and multimedia society with a variety of opportunities, as well as a number of socioeconomic challenges. The goal of this program is to provide for adolescent boys and girls in the 13- to 16-year-old age group an opportunity to explore and learn about the technical, artistic, creative, business, and administrative careers that are a part of the motion picture, television, music video, and home entertainment industries, as well as to learn about some of the skills, personal attributes, techniques, and strategies needed to enter these fields. Our goal, while recognizing that many factors go into obtaining a position in any industry, is to provide the young audience with enough background so that their own career exploration, planning, education and decision-making can begin.

On the Spot challenges viewers to recall middle and high school knowledge about history, science, math, English, second languages, health, geography, art, music, and technology, and then teaches them the answer.
