My America combines elements of traditional civics and social studies curricula with techniques and activities that encourage children to experience the democratic process by participating actively in their schools and local communities. The series explores the basics of American government: the legislative process, ideals of a democratic government and the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a democracy.
One program for teachers and parents explores the importance of community involvement in schools, and another program for teachers provides ideas about the importance of teaching and acknowledging multiculturalism in the classroom.
