A report is presented on a two-year project developed by the Cleveland Public Schools to develop and pilot-test a "packaged" curriculum model designed to support both the basic and functional skill development of high school students in each of five major content areas--English, social studies, mathematics, science, and technical-vocational education. The objective of this undertaking was to assist teachers in helping students master skills basic to the successful functioning in society. A preliminary needs assessment study revealed marginal literacy among some high school graduates. Thirty individual lesson packets were developed. The packets addressed such topics as using credit, job preparation, using telephone directories, and paying taxes. This report includes descriptions of the project goals and outcomes and a discusssion of the performance objectives for each phase of the project. An evaluation of every facet of the project is appended as well as examples of the contents of the Functional Life Skills packets. (JD)
