The University School Enaction Curriculum.
Hollingsworth, Patricia L., Ed.
The booklet describes the curriculum of the University of Tulsa School for Gifted Children which serves children from ages 3 to 11. The curriculum is based on Enaction Theory developed by S. Ohlsson as well as other educational models. The introduction presents program goals, summarizes Enaction Theory, notes the important role of content, stresses the University resource, identifies other curriculum strategies, and states the school's values. Following this, the curriculum for each grade level (Early Childhood, Primary I, Primary II, Primary III, Intermediate I, and Intermediate II is outlined; it includes phonics and organic reading/writing at the early levels, daily individual silent reading, language arts, math, social studies and science. The early mathematics curriculum stresses the use of manipulative aids; the science curriculum uses the spiral approach to content; and the social studies curriculum introduces major historical figures and geographical places. At the intermediate level, curriculum additions include cursive writing, spelling, decimals and simple probability, basic algebra, ongoing creative writing, the Junior Great Books Program, American History, and basic chemistry and physics. Taught throughout are the special subjects of computer skills, Spanish, music, and "rainbow day" art. A scope and sequence outline is provided and also included is the text of an article, "Enaction Theory: A Theoretical Validation of the Enrichment Triad Model" by Patricia Hollingsworth. (DB)
