Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
Young Sabrina's lessons in how to be a good witch are demanding, but they pale in comparison to what she must learn in order to be a good human: loyalty, honesty, self-efficacy, tolerance, perseverance, independence. Each week Sabrina confronts her two sides and discovers that the magic of becoming human is even more demanding and more powerful than the magic of the Netherworld. As she struggles to understand and master her human side, Sabrina serves as an ideal role-model for the eight- to twelve-year-old audience. Sabrina is positive, self-reliant, competent...and open to new ideas. She listens, learns, and does what is necessary to reinforce the lesson for others. And with the help and guidance of her family and friends both Sabrina and the viewing audience come to understand what it takes to become a fully functioning, truly good human being. Attractive and engaging characters, entertaining story lines that mirror the kinds of issues and situations that concern children in middle childhood, and stories that flow from and examine those issues in concrete, explicit terms that children can understand.

Liberty's Kids is designed to enable viewers to experience, in fresh and exciting ways, the extraordinary period of 1773 to 1789 in American history. It uses powerful storytelling to address three primary educational goals: 1. To introduce young people to an extensive cast of remarkable historical figures, from Ben Franklin to Phillis Wheatley, and to enable them to understand the incredible sacrifices these individuals made to help found the United States. 2. To guide young people through the entire sequence of amazing events that led to the creation of a new nation, from the homes of ordinary Americans and the meeting halls from Virginia to Massachusetts to the numerous battlefields in the colonies and the royal courts of France and England. 3. To help young people understand the importance of key philosophical, social and political issues at the heart of the American Revolution by setting these issues in actual historical contexts, by having individuals such as Jefferson and Paine explain these issues and by seeing the impact of these issues on the lives of ordinary citizens. And to always do so in ways that are age-appropriate for the target audience.
