On Common Ground

"This is provocative dramatization! A dynamic and innovative approach to teaching citizenship, civics and government. The material comes alive for learners, helping them visualize as they conceptualize during the learning process. Plus, On Common Ground is also ideal for alternative education such as sheltered classes, continuation schools or various types of distance learning programs." - Roy Erickson, Director of Justice Education Programs for the Center for Civic Education

Produced with support from the states of California, Florida and New York, and the Citizenship and Immigration Service, On Common Ground helps viewers fully understand the rights, privileges and responsibilities associated with citizenship. Individual lessons focus on such crucial issues as racial polarization, extremism and freedom of speech, individual rights versus the public good, separation of powers, and checks and balances.
