Fourth grade students
in the Dallas area are
learning the importance
of values through the
Crossroads Program.
The Program is
designed to help the
students make decisions
about such subjects as
honesty, generosity, in-
tegrity, guilt, and
hostility.
Crossroads is presented
by guidance counselor,
Rhoda Tillman. Tillman
shows a series of open
ended filmstrips ac-
companied by cassettes.
She and the students
evaluate the situation and
discuss its various
solutions. = Hopefully,
students will use what
they have learned from
the material in situations
outside of the classroom.
. The program involves
fourth grade students
from Trucksville,
Westmoreland, and
Dallas Township schools.
Half hour sessions last
over a period of three
weeks. Tillman also lets
other teachers borrow the
films. She also shows
them to physical eduction
classes to teach the im-
portance of fair play in
sport.
Tillman is pleaded with
the results of the
program. The children
have been very respon-
sive in reacting to one
another’s opinions and in
making decisions con-
cerning values.
