The social studies curriculum guide for levels K-6 emphasizes the role played by all ethnic groups in the development of the American culture. Main goals of the course are to enhance the student's knowledge of self, appreciation of his heritage and the heritage of others, and understanding of the contributions of many peoples to the growth of the United States. An inquiry method of teaching is used throughout the course. The following courses are outlined: 1) Who am I? As I See Myself, As Others See Me; 2) Individuals -- Similarities and Differences; 3) Group Behavior--Individuality and Conformity; 4) Communities--Interdependence and Change; 5) Individuals and Groups--Prejudice and Propaganda; and 6) Individuals and Groups--Human Rights and Protection.
