The suggested first, second, and third-year social studies program described in this outline provides opportunities for teachers to involve public school students in Lincoln, Nebraska, in exploring the plurality of our society, and specifically the positive aspects, contributions, uniqueness and dignity of ethnic minority groups in the the United States. The outline and materials involve students in value clarification, explanation of feelings, conflict resolution, group experience, decision making, generalizing, hypothesizing, concept formation and application. Goal statements for the entire K-12 social studies program are listed and terms used in the program outline are clarified. The outline presents the rationale, goals, and materials for the first three years of the social studies program on their respective topics of Self, Family, and Neighborhood. The knowledge, attitudinal, and skills aspects of the rationale, goals, and materials at each level are delineated. The materials sections contain simple, basic bibliographies requiring supplementation by teachers in the areas of media, field trips, and community resources. An appendix of skills applied in social studies relates a skill development sequence by naming skills and the levels at which they are introduced, developed, or extended. (Author/KSM)
