Reflecting the increased interest in humanities programs for elementary, middle, and secondary schools, this book provides descriptions of humanities programs developed by 35 schools throughout the country. Although the selection of programs represents a variety of approaches (e.g., some open to only high-ability students, others designed for low achievers; some flexible in content and organization, others based on a carefully detailed structure), the programs broadly cover the study of man within his culture: his experience, the symbols he prefers, and the values these symbols imply. The use of multi-media, field trips, team teaching, and community resources generally characterizes most of the programs. Individual program descriptions include rationale, objectives, course requirements, schedules, outlines of the courses of study, materials, resources, activities, and evaluative conclusions. (JMC)
