EMPHASIS 039118
The concept "emphasis" refers to teacher language which is used to fo- cus the learner's attention on information, ideas, concepts or facts that you want the students to remember. One of the great dilemmas for most students, be they in nursery school or graduate school, is fig- uring out what they are to learn. As a rule, the student does not have enough background in the area he is studying to differentiate between what is important and what is not. You as the teacher can greatly help him and, therefore, increase your own effectiveness by learning to ap- ply the three behavioral indicators in this instructional package.

EMPIRE UPON THE TRAILS 056806
In the early 1800's, no one knew who would conrol the seemingly infinite spaces of the West. But hopful Americans began moving there nevertheless, and the individual trails they followed eventually merged into the single path of "Manifest Destiny." Mountain men, such as the legendary Joe Meek, found more adventure than profit as they scoured the unchartered Rockies for furs. Missionaries such as Narcissa Whitman left the safety and friendship of home to travel west for a self-assured quest to "save" a race of people who never con- sidered themselves lost. And the Virginia family of Henry Sager, ac- customed to following the restless dream of better times over the next horizon, set out on the Oregon Trail - then nearly destroyed itself struggling to reach the continent's farthest shore.

ENABLING: MASKING REALITY 055604
Addiction is everyone's problem - almost all of us play a role in it through enabling. In this program, Hugh Downs shows how normal, healthy social instincts become distorted by addiction. He explains how attempts to be helpful often enable addicts to escape the conse- quences of their addiction, reinforcing denial and delusion, and al- lowing addiction to strengthen its grip. Dramatic scenes show how fam- ily members, friends and co-workers get caught up in masking the real- ity of one man's addiction to alcohol and cocaine. Designed to be used in alcohol and other drug awareness programs, this is also an ef- fective tool for pre-intervention training by professionals working with addicts and concerned persons.

FAMILY AND SURVIVAL 056748
This program investigates the American "dream family" an endangered species. Less than 5% of American households fit the profile of the traditional nuclear family- working father, wife/mother who stays home to take care of the house and children. Broken homes, battered wives, estranged children, corporate nomads- these are today's commonplaces. Whether their parents are making thier way up the corporate ladder, their fathers' jobs are threatened by the decline in heavy industry, or the family farm is being sold, it is the children who bear the heaviest burden, for the pressures on them are often in direct conflict with one of the human animal's most basic needs- to be loved for what he is.
