Educators & Students — American Creed Educators & Students

American Creed | PBS LearningMediaExplore foundational ideals like freedom, fairness and opportunity in a mosaic of American stories. This multiformat documentary project centers on the stories of people working to realize their visions of America’s promise in their local communities. Scholars of American democracy David M. Kennedy and Condoleezza Rice contextualize these stories, illuminating shared values along with differences in outlook and approach. Students learn from this dialogue. Then, students develop their own media projects contributing, community by community, to a national dialogue about America’s identity.

This I Believe

Meet Young Leaders | American Creed | PBS LearningMediaDiscover what sparks people to get involved in their communities and build the skills democracy requires. A young Chicagoan rallies her community to fight pollution. A young fisherman protects his Native Alaskan community’s right to subsist. Two young Army lieutenants defend values that inspire soldiers to work together across differences. A NASCAR driver races to clear a path for everyone with a disability to be able to pursue their dreams. See how young leaders navigate big challenges. What foundational ideals (like freedom, fairness, justice, or opportunity) inspire their commitment?

Dolly Parton's AmericaIn this intensely divided moment, one of the few things everyone still seems to agree on is Dolly Parton—but why? That simple question leads to a deeply personal, historical, and musical rethinking of one of America’s great icons. Join us for a 9-episode journey into the Dollyverse. Hosted by Jad Abumrad. Produced and reported by Shima Oliaee. Dolly Parton’s America is a production from OSM Audio and WNYC Studios.
