This experimental curriculum bulletin provides an overview of all subject areas with a specific focus on basic skills and knowledge. Its purpose is to provide administrators, teachers, parents, and other members of the educational community with access to a comprehensive resource that identifies the body of knowledge and skills to be taught for each grade level. The bulletin begins with a broad overview of each subject area. Statements of the philosophy, goals, and guidelines for bilingual education and career education are included. English as a second language and foreign languages in the elementary school are treated by levels. The reading component identifies and describes the important skill areas needed for a developmental reading program. Specialized subjects for the intermediate or junior high school are presented course by course. All other curriculum subjects within a grade level are grouped together. (Author/RLV)
