With the realization that all do not learn at the same rate, or with the same capability, the teacher must be cogaizant of individual differences. To commnicate man's heritage from generation to goner tion and to insure an orderly development of human civilization, there is common knowledge that must be learned by each generation. It is the intention to instill in the very young these common learninga and, in a sequential manner, guide their 4evslopmeat through the various levels of learning. In the broadest sense knowledge may be thought of as those concepts, attitudes, skills, and farts that provide ar individual with en understanding of ids heritage to the present, and to guide hie endeavors in the future. The teaching-learning process will be determined by the knowledge to be learned and the capability of an individual to ?earn that knowledge. The teacher ie one of the key figures in accomplishing the purpoae of the school.Teaching is an art utilized by one individual to influence another individual toward inquiry into, and &equita- tion of knowledge.Thus, the teacher is a mature, professional individual guiding the learning process to assure maximum growth and development of the individual student. The other key role in the teaching-learning process is that of the learner.This key person may be towelled as en active participant in processes toward inquiry into, and the acquisition of knowledge. Participation in these processes involves self - responsibility for learning on the part of the individual to the limit of his or her capabilities. As an individual progresses through the years of formal elementary and secondary education, the knowledge outlined in the guidelines le to be exemplified on various levels.That ie, the se- quence of instructional and learning activities are aimed at the continuous development of the common threads of learning in depth and breadth on the various levels.The concepts, attitudes, &kills, and facts as outlined in the guidelines are ca be taught to children within the scope of their understanding throughout the shool in grades kindergarten through twelve. 6 vi COMMON THREADS OF LEARNING LANGUAGE ARTS I.
