For the next 25 years, Dockterman tested and created dozens of
educational programs, among them the award - winning Science Court, an animated television show that aired on ABC Kids that taught the fundamental concepts of elementary and middle school science; the Great Ocean Rescue, a computer application where students
face four
challenging rescue missions that take them deep into the world's oceans; and Decisions, Decisions, a game that teaches students the complexities of topics like immigration, the constitution, environment, or building a
nation through role - playing and informed discussion.
The struggle to desegregate America's schools while ensuring equal
educational opportunities for students of all races is one of the greatest social
challenges the
nation has
faced over the last half century.
