- Curriculum Assessment and Development Project: Task Force Report. Advisory Committees Community Attitudes Curriculum Development Educational Improvement Elementary Secondary Education Language Arts Mathematics Science Programs Social Studies Special Education Staff Development Student Attitudes Student Evaluation Vocational Education Containing recommendations of a 36-person task force, this report establishes a direction for actions that the Virginia Beach, Virginia school division should take to improve the current educational program. Recommendations are presented in four sections. Section 1 (kindergarten-grade 12) discusses curriculum, staff development, and student standards. Sections 2 and 3 (kindergarten-grade 4 and grades 5-8) include descriptions of program directions; programs in language arts, mathematics, science, health, and social studies; and resource, exploratory, and elective programs. Section 4 (grades 9-12) includes discussion of content areas as well as vocational education and specialized studies. Special programs and resource services such as English as a Second Language, gifted education, guidance, library studies, and special education are described in section 5. Three appendices, composing the majority of the text, complete the document. The first appendix provides a program process summary; a summary of staff, student, and community involvement; rosters of the curriculum assessment and development task force and other advisory groups and consultants and a list of school visitations conducted in other state systems; nine tables illustrating results of the curriculum assessment and development senior survey; a copy of the community opinion survey report; and a futures and technology report in chart form. The second appendix, the curriculum foundations report, establishes a basis for curriculum renewal and continuous curriculum development. Finally, the third appendix reports on the use of computers within the school system. (BJD)
