Inside/Out - 30/15 Min. programs
Inside/Out is an interdisciplinary series designed by health
educators. The series is intended to help eight-to-ten-year-olds
understand and cope with their emotions. Portraying experiences
common to young lives, the lessons deal in new ways with the
social, emotional and physical problems that have traditionally
been the concern of health educators. They always had a cliffhanger ending designed to make you think about human ethics, morals, etc. There were 30 15-minute episodes in the series. For grades 3-5.
