This teacher's guide for grade 1 is part of a curriculum developed for teaching social studies in the first eight grades. The objectives of the curriculum, 11 key concepts to be studied in all grades, and 19 behavioral objectives to be attained in the first year are listed. This year's program is based on the family and has three units, each developed around a man idea: (1) "The socialization of children takes place primarily within family, peer, educational, and religious institutions." (2) "Families differ in life style and role expectations." (3) "The institutions of a society are economically sustained through a variety of means." Strategies for teaching attitudes and cognitive skills are given; and learning objectives, suggested learning activities, notes for the teacher, and evaluation exercises are provided for each unit.
