David has a crush on his teacher, Miss Simpson. But his courtship runs an erratic course, and his feelings of heroic pride turn to dejection. This is from "Inside/Out," a series designed by health educators and learning specialists to help eightto-ten-year-olds understand and cope with their emotions. Developed by an AIT-managed consortium, the programs focus on a variety of topics, from death in the family and separated parents to peer pressure, fear of failure, and what to do about the class bully.

Noted actor Leonard Nimoy, portraying a famous Victorian sleuth, demonstrates that reasoning from known to unknown is as important for the scientist as it is for the detective. The program is part of "Universe and I," a series in the earth and space sciences for junior high school students.

ministrators, teachers, curriculum supervisors, educational broadcasters, authorities in various fields, and professional organizations in the U.S. and Canada. The AIT Board of Directors establishes areas for exploration on the basis of needs expressed by representatives of the states and provinces at meetings conducted by AIT. Study teams organized by AIT then determine how television can make a significant contribution to the classroom in these areas. Projects are refined through reports distributed to all interested persons and discussions at subsequent meetings.

State and provincial agencies pool resources to finance projects. The consortium of agencies involved in a project provides overall guidance through the production period. Representatives of the agencies meet with AIT staff, the project's curriculum design team, and other consultants to review the

development of the television and related materials, guide information activities for introduction of the series, and plan its effective utilization. Production is done by selected agencies under the supervision of AIT and the consultants.

AIT also organizes smaller cooperative efforts to finance the production of exceptionally promising classroom series conceived by individual

agencies and of new versions of existing series that have proved their effectiveness.
