PROGRESS DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE OAKLEAF PROJECT, AN INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS, WAS SUMMARIZED IN THIS INTERIM REPORT. THE OAKLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SUBURBAN PITTSBURGH WAS USED AS THE PROJECT LABORATORY FOR PRODUCING A CURRICULUM IN AN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT WHICH WOULD BE RESPONSIVE TO INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AMONG CHILDREN. SUBJECT-MATTER LEARNING WAS CONCENTRATED ON MATHEMATICS, READING, AND PRIMARY-GRADE SCIENCE. SELF-STUDY MATERIALS AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS WERE DEVELOPED AND BUILT INTO THE INDIVIDUALIZED CURRICULUM. TEACHERS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES REQUIRED FOR FULFILLING EACH STUDENT'S INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. TABLES IN THE CONCLUDING SECTION OF THE REPORT PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT PROGRESS DATA DURING THE PROJECT'S FIRST YEAR. RELATED REPORTS ARE ED 010 205 THROUGH ED 010 211 AND ED 010 519 THROUGH ED 010 523. (JH)
