A supplemental contract for the period December1, 1965 to March 31, 1966, Cooperative ResearchProject OE-6-10-327, made it possible to round out and complete much of the work begun underthe first contract. The two reports should be read together fora complete picture of this period of development in which the Social ScienceEducation Consortium explored ways of obtaining greater cooperation and communicationamong the various kinds of people whoare concerned with creative innovation in social science education--including classroomteachers, curriculum directors, school administrators, university educators, and socialscientists. As an aid to presentation of this whole picture, the table ofcontents of this report includes a copy of the table ofcontents of the report on the supplemental contract. The authors of this report debatedat length with themselves over the question of whether it should be kept relativelybrief, or should containa full report of all the work accomplished. It was our feeling that the decision most compatible with our goal of making curriculumdevelopment efforts of all kinds widely known and available wouldbe to make a full report of allour work. Since the parts of this reportwere produced at different times and not in the sequence given here, pagination isnot consecutive. A system of colored title pages has been used to guide the reader,as indicated in the Table of Contents. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Number or Page Color Foreword iii PART I: BACKGROUND AND RESULTS Section 1.
