A program designed for those students with varied skills, talents, and abilities who feel the present courses of study are not meeting their needs, the Communication Arts Curriculum is based on an approach to learning in which each student selects his or her own learning activity, assembles the resources, and participates in personal evaluation. Part I, "A Model Program," contains a preface, overview, program assumptions, and program objectives. Part II, "Program Operation," contains a course description and outline, an application for the program, an individualized instruction format, progress reports, reading lists, and an attitudinal survey, as well as discussions of the selection of students for this program, elective choice, credit distribution, scheduling, and the utilization of community resources. Part III, "Procedure," includes a developmental flow chart, evaluation questionnaires, examples of summer workshop projects and activities, student guidelines, and an inservice workshop proposal. (LL)
