A Sourcebook of Elementary Curricula Programs and Projects.

Overview & Synopsis

Designed for teachers, students, parents, curriculum specialists, administrators, school board members, and community representatives, this guide includes a selected sample of curricula, training programs, model projects, and resources in elementary education. Organized alphabetically by subject area and using an outline format, information on subjects such as target audience, content evaluation, project goals, length of use, unit sequencing, instructional method, teacher's role and training, and program evaluation are provided for each entry. Subject matter areas cover the traditional elementary school subjects as well as recently developed subjects such as affective education and environmental education. Priority is given to those projects that have been established with performance objectives and have been field tested. The final section lists resources to extend the reader's search beyond the entries in the first three sections. (Author/DW)
