Curriculum guidelines costa substantial amount ofmoney when widely distributed. They are very valuable to those who go through the guideline writingprocess, because as the writing progresses, authors havemany opportunities to think about what they are saying, to sort things out in theirown minds as they are selecting andarranging content materials. For the user, however, a curriculum guide can be quite sterile. It represents someone elses thinking. It is interesting, but notinternalized. The color of the cover, if "Dusty Rose," doesn't show the shelfdust that collects as the schoolyear wears on. This document is designed foryour own involvement and decision making. It is a "bank" of objectives, activities and suggestedresources that you can make withdrawals from. You must decide whatyour program is. You have this material available to use to save precioustime. The title is Small SchoolsSharing. If you have ideas for activities and resources, other objectives, other suggested monitoringprocedures, we need to know about them. Please feel a responsibilityto share. Don't be bashful about sending anything, Your idea may be theone that works for one child, the technique that makes the breakthroughfor that particular concept or objective. If it is, it is priceless. If you have suggestions as to ways to improve the guideline,format, philosophy or any other consideration, please be in touch. Your sugges- tions are valued. In order to make the best use of this document, you should firstbecome familiar with the Student Learning Objectives Handbook, whichhas just been revised.Your school will havea copy by the fall of 1977.

The format was developed in order to facilitate the transportability of the product by allowing districts to personalize the curriculum materials to meet their own educational programs. The Small Schools Format provides a simple arrangement for listing objectives and identifying activities, monitoring procedures, and resources used in 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 studies. For each objective a grade placement has been recommended indicating where each objective should be taught and mastered. The grade recommendation is made with the under- standing that it applies to most students and that there will always be some students who require either a longer or shorter time than recommended to master the knowledges, skills and values indicated by the objectives. Columns at the right of the page have been provided so district personnel can indicate the grade placement of objectives to coincide with the curriculum materials available in their schools. District personnel may also choose to delete an objective by striking it from the list or add another objective by writing it directly on the sequenced objective page.
