FOREWORD

This bulletin was prepared by the Bureau of Instruction for use
in the public schools of Kentucky. It contains a copy of the Mini-
mum State Courses of Study, a number of suggested school pro-
grams, basal textbook lists for the public elementary and secondary
schools, criteria for school evaluation, standards for accrediting high
schools, and other educational items of value.

Pursuant to Section 156.160 KRS the Superintendent of Public
Instruction shall prepare or cause to be prepared “minimum courses
of study for the different grades and kinds of common schools, and
regulations governing educational equipment of the schools.” The
Minimum State Courses of Study were so prepared and adopted by
the State Board of Education for a five—year period ending on June
30, 1955.

From the Minimum State Courses of Study suggested programs
of studies have been planned for the 12-grade school, the 8—grade
elementary school, the junior high school, and the 4-year high school.
It is believed that the suggested programs of studies, the standards
for accrediting high schools, and other items included in this bul-
letin will be very valuable to the public schools of the State.

PREVIEW

Part One of this bulletin includes chapters one, two, and three.
These chapters deal with the Minimum State Courses of Study, a
twelve-grade program of studies, an elementary school program, a
junior high school program, and a senior high school program.

Chapter I gives the Minimum State Courses of Study in full,
a l2—grade program of studies arranged by subject-areas, educational
objectives, and a number of desirable suggestions.

Chapter II deals With the 8—grade elementary and the junior
high school programs. A list of the basal textbooks and brief dis-
cussions of other instructional materials are included. Kentucky
has a sufﬁcient number of separate elementary and junior high
schools to warrant programs of studies for these grade levels.

Chapter III is concerned with the 4—year high school. In this
chapter high school offerings, requirements for graduation, general
and special subject-areas, plans of subject—areas, placement of sub-
jects by grades, subject credits, and a list of basal textbooks are
included.

The programs of studies for the elementary, junior high school,
and senior high school grades that are presented in Chapter II and
Chapter III are sections of the suggested lZ—grade program of
studies. The sections have been expanded and described in a more
detailed form.

CHAPTER I

A TWELVE-GRADE PROGRAM OF EDUCATION
A. GENERAL STATEMENTS

Educational Responsibility

Every community has an educational obligation to its youth.
It is the responsibility of the community to provide an adequate
school program for its youth. All children have the right to an
educational opportunity that is compatible with their several capac-
ities. The educational right of the youth is an inherent duty of
the community.

An Adequate School Program '

An adequate school program provides for the needs, interests,
and abilities of the different age-groups within the community.
A comprehensive program of education calls for a twelve-grade
curriculum with downward and upward extensions. A satisfactory
school program for all age-groups includes nursery school and
kindergarten training for children under six years of age, an elemen-
tary school program, a secondary school program, a part-time pro-
gram of education for out—of—school youth and adults, and whenever
advisable and feasible a program of education for the grades on
the junior college level.

General and Special Education

A well-rounded curriculum requires a “balanced program of
general and special education.” The purpose of general education
is to provide the “common learning experiences” that are necessary
for all pupils. It forms a “continuous stream of experiences” which
flow unobstructed from grade one through grade twelve. Special
education, on the other hand, relates itself to the special interests
and vocational competences of the pupils.

Common Learning Experiences

The learning experiences common to all pupils are characteristic
0f the elementary and junior high school grades. In theSe grades
the Pupils acquire skills and fundamental tools of learning and com-
munication and other educational experiences which are basic to
all age-groups for “desirable citizenship” in a democratic society.

13061

Special Education on the Tenth-Grade Level

With some exceptions, it is thought, special education should
not begin before the tenth-grade level. As a whole, special educa-
tion has been assigned to the three upper-grade levels of the high
school. An adequate program of secondary education, according
to modern concepts, must provide for the common needs of all
youth and special needs of the individual.

Areas of Learning

Educational experiences in number are many and of different
kinds. Several patterns of subject-matter organizations are in current
use. This program of studies, however, has been limited, more or less,
to subject ﬁelds that have been organized around areas of learning.

B. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Objectives for a Twelve-Grade Program

The Purposes of Education in American Democracy,1 published
by the Educational Policies Commission, lists four major groups of
educational objectives. Perhaps these four groups of objectives are
the most representative of the twelve-grade program of education.
The four categories are the objectives of Self—Realization, the objec-
tives of Human Relationship, the objectives of Economic Efﬁciency,
and the objectives of Civic Responsibility.

The Objectives of Self-Realization

Education is concerned with the growth and the development
of the individual
who has an inquiring mind;
who is skilled in listening and observing;
who speaks his mother tongue clearly;
who reads his mother tongue efﬁciently;
who writes his mother tongue effectively;
who solves his problems of counting and calculating;
who understands basic facts of health and disease;
Who protects his own health and that of his dependents;
who wants to improve the health of the community;
who participates in sports and pastimes;

O. MINIMUM STATE COURSES OF STUDY FOR GRADES
ONE THROUGH TWELVE

Twelve-Grade Program

These Minimum State Courses of Study for Grades One to
Twelve, inclusive, are set up in accordance with Section 156.160
Kentucky Revised Statutes. Each local board of education shall
adopt its own courses of study, upon the recommendation of its
superintendent, consistent With the rules and regulations of the
State Board of Education. The twelve-grade program has been
designed for four plans of organization—the eight—grade elemen-
tary plan, the 8-4 plan, the 6-6 plan, and the 6—3—3 plan.

Adoption by State Board of Education

The State Board of Education approved and adopted these
Minimum State Courses of Study for Grades One to Twelve, in-
clusive, for the common schools of Kentucky for a five year period
ending June 30, 1955, on September 16, 1949.

Subjects by Grades

Subjects are listed by grades for the different plans of organ-
ization. Tn the eight—four and six-six plans of organization the
subjects are listed under the elementary grades one through eight,
and high school grades nine through twelve. In the six—three-three
plan of organization the subjects are listed under the elementary
grades one through six; junior high school grades seven, eight and
nine; and senior high school grades ten, eleven and twelve. The
eight-grade elementary plan is the same as the first eight grades in
the eight—four and six-six plans.

D. PROGRAM OF STUDIES

Minimum State Courses of Study

From the Minimum State Courses of Study programs of studies
have been formulated. These programs of studies provide school
activities for the experiences that are needed in learning. Programs
of studies have been designed for the 12-grade school, 8—grade ele-
mentary school, junior high school, and senior high school plans
of organization.
Different Subject-Areas

In the suggested twelve-grade curriculum there is a continuity
of subject-areas. For example, the language arts begin in grade
one and continue through grade twelve. The same continuity exists
in the other subject—areas with the exceptions of business education,
trades and industries, and diversified occupations. These subjects
are taught in the high school grades. The subject—areas for the dif—
ferent grades are designed for their respective grade-levels.
