Series Description
"BREAD & BUTTERFLIES is a project in career development for nine-to-twelve-year-olds. Based on two years of planning by educators and broadcasters, the project includes fifteen 15-minute color television programs, a comprehensive Curriculum Guide, and in-service teacher's program, and informational program, and workshop materials. BREAD & BUTTERFLIES was created, under the supervision of the Agency for Instructional Television, through the resources of thirty-eight educational and broadcasting agencies with assistance from Exxon Corporation. "BREAD & BUTTERFLIES was first broadcast during the 1974-75 school year on 150 public/instructional television stations (see enclosed list). It is now into its second year of use and is being broadcast on over 150 stations. "From the Curriculum Guide (teacher's guide): BREAD & BUTTERFLIES is not merely learning about work, or uncovering personal feelings about career roles, or doing work-related tasks; it is a combination of all three. It pulls together all the facets of personal and career development that help young people understand who they are and what they can become. The affective learning emphasized in the series is a process of developing in the classroom the spirit of the individual -- the confidence that he or she is somebody, that each has special things that he or she can do well, and that all can have a say in what happens to them in the years ahead."--1975 Peabody entry form.
