Curriculum guidelinescoSt-a-substanfial-amount-.- of money when widely distributed. They_are v6ry valuable to those who )go through the guideline writing process, because as the.writing progresses, authors have many opportunities to think about what they are saying, to sort things out in their own minds as they are selecting andarranging content materials. For:the user,.however.a curriculum guide can be quite sterile. It representssomeone,elses thinking. It is interesting, but not internaliied. This document-is'designed for your own involvement and.decision making. It is a "bank" of objectives, activities aux! suggested resources that you can make withdrawalS:from.You must decide what your programAg. You.have this.material available to use to save precious time. The title is Small Schools Sharing! _If you have ideas for activities and'resourCes, other objectives, other suggested monitoriug'procedures, we need to knowabout them. .Pleaseleel a respOnsibility.to'share. Don't be hashftl about sending-anything. Your idea may. be the one that works for one child, the technique that makes the breakthrough -for that patticular concept or objective. If it is, it is-priceletst If yOu have suggestions as to ways to improve the guideline, format,.. philosophy or any other ponsiderationlease be in touch.Your sugges- tions are valued. In order to make the best use of this document, you should first become familiar with the StUdent Learning Objectives Handbook, which has just been revised. Your school will have a copy by the fait of 1978. JimSjoluj° Project'Director Comprehensive Arts in-Education Program FORMAT. One unique feature of the Small Schools Curriculum is theformat or ariangement of information on the page. The format was'developed in order to facilitate the transportability.of the product by allowing districts to personalize _the Orriculum.--materials tomeet their-own educational programs. The Small Schools Format provides-a simple ar--, -rangement-for-ii-Sting objectives and identifying activities, monitoring procedures, and resources used ia.teaching. ' Page One The first format page lists the sequence of student learning objectives related to a specific area of the curriculum for either reading, language arts, mathematics, science or social studi4. For each objective a grade placement has been recommended indicating where each objective should be taught and mastered.The grade fecommghdatima is made with the understhnding that it applies to most students and that there will always be-some students who require either a. longer orahor.ter time than recommended to master the knowledges, skillS and Values indicated by the- objectives. Columns at the right of the page have been provided sodistrict personnel can indicate the grade placement ofobjectives to coincide with the curricuibm materials available in,their.schgels. District personnel may also choose to delete an objective by strikingit from the list or add another objective by writing it directly on the sequenced objective. page. Page TWO' On £he second format page, one oi more objectives from the first, fornilt page are, rewritten and suggested activities, monitoring procedures and resources used in teaching to the---objective(s) are identified.
