ABSTRACT
This reference guide is designed to help seventh grade
teachers plan for instruction, providing all of the goals and objectives in
one document. The guide can be used to link instructional objectives across
disciplines, plan integrated units, and assist in assessing student progress
over time. Only the very basic components of each discipline included in the
Standard Course of Study are incorporated in this publication. Goals and
objectives are presented for: language arts; mathematics; science; social
studies; healthful living; arts education; second language;
computer/technology skills; information skills; exploring life skills;
exploring career decisions; exploring biotechnology; business computer
technology; exploring business technologies: business and marketing;
keyboarding; exploring technology systems; and guidance. Middle grades
contacts are listed.
