Curriculum, 1968-1994
Scope and Contents
The Board of Education, in the period after decentralization, continued to issue some curricula as numbered items in its long-standing Curriculum Bulletin serial (Series 667). However, most of the curricula produced in the period 1970-2001 were issued as free-standing, non-serial publications, and are included in Series 1262.
The subjects and grade levels varied widely. Included are many experimental or innovative curricula, such as the “Children of the Rainbow” guides for multicultural education in kindergarten and first grade. Also included are several sets of materials for upgrading mathematics education, including the “Gates to Learning” for elementary grades and the “Fundamentals of Mathematics” for ninth grade.
