This guide was developed to acquaint teachers with the Continuous Progress Program, which is designed to recognize the individual differences of students in a nongraded curricular system and to make available to teachers a comprehensive set of guidelines for implementation. The guide establishes the parameters within which the operation of an individualized process of instruction is to take place and presents seven principles on which the program is based. The contents of the document include: "The National Sequence of Change in the School Organization,""Questions and Answers on Avon's Continuous Progress Program,""Philosophy of the English Arts Department," and a listing of specific courses within the program, including suggestions, skills, and materials.
