Helping students - whether native-born high
school students or adult immigrants -- learn what democracy in
a multi-cultural society really means: That is the purpose of

closely-correlated, multi-level text materials that focus on key
issues in citizenship, civics and government.

Florida and New York, and the United States Department of Justice,
Immigration and Naturalization Service, On Common Ground helps
viewers fully understand the rights, privileges and responsibilities
associated with citizenship.

such crucial issues as racial polarization, extremism and freedom
of speech, individual rights versus the public good, separation
of powers, and checks and balances, Two correlated Worktexts help
students gain valuable insights into life in the democracy that
is America.
