A K-12 social studies curriculum organized around concept teaching and skill development is presented in five sections. Section 1 contains general information on philosophy and program goals. Section 2, subdivided into 7 parts, outlines the courses of study for grades K-6. Presented in chart form, each grade level description outlines major concepts in history, geography, economics, political science, behavioral science, and philosophy. This is followed by a description of the major topics of instruction. For example, the topics for kindergarten are families, seasons, and holidays; for grade 1, families and holidays around the world; for grade 5, the United States. Section 3 presents shared skills and broad instructional objectives for grades K-6. Separate charts outline informational, communication, interpretive, and intergroup relation skills. Section 4 consists of charts detailing the social studies skills and instructional objectives for grades K through 6: selecting, reading, and evaluating social studies materials; problem solving; interpreting maps and globes; and understanding time and chronology. Section 5 presents, in outline form, the major social studies concepts for grades 7 and 8 and a chart of scope and sequence for those grades. In the final section, an overview of required and elective courses for grades 9-12 is followed by the instructional objectives and content for 16 high school courses including social problems, world history, humanities, psychology, crime and prisons, and death and dying.
