A social studies framework for grades K-12 contains six sections. Seven social studies goals and their components are presented on the inside covers of the volume. An introduction describes the K-12 program rationale. A section on scope and sequence is divided into subsections for each grade level. For each grade level, a brief entry presents grade theme, skill and content emphases, and resource units. Grade level objectives, divided by grade, are contained in another section. The social studies goals one through five and seven are matched with specific grade level content and skills as appropriate. Goal number six, skill objectives, is treated separately; in matrix format, individual skills are correlated with appropriate grade levels. A final section contains concept and geography-related social studies vocabulary. Two appendices list basic social studies project objectives and grade level vocabulary. (LP)
