In relating foundation program objectives established by the Department of Education to classroom instruction, this paper identifies performance expectations for 21 subjects in grades 3, 6, 8, 10, and 12. These grades were chosen because they represent critical points in major stages of human development. The performance expectations are clustered according to knowledge, skills, or attitudes that are important for students at particular stages of development. The expectations are intended to provide the basis for developing instructional objectives, measuring student progress, insuring appropriate and timely instruction for each student, and securing related assessment information regarding student background, interests, work habits, and learning styles.
