This report proposes a curriculum model for education of students in the age group of 10 to 14 years in Scotland. It also proposes a policy of autonomy within guidelines so that secondary schools and their associated primary schools can develop new partnerships for collaborative planning of curriculum, pupil care, learning support, assessment, recording, and reporting. Section 1 addresses the overall aims of the 10-14 program, reviewing its history, discussing the major issues in education at the middle level, and presenting the desirable outcomes of the program with respect to curriculum and learning. Section 2 describes the curriculum design in detail, discussing (1) the process of collaborative planning; (2) specific curricular goals of the 10-14 program; (3) the range of the curriculum; (4) essential conditions for education 10-14; and (5) ways and means. Section 3 focuses on the child as a learner, discussing the processes of learning, teaching, assessment, recording, and reporting and pupil care. Section 4 develops proposals for collaborative management of education 10-14, while section 5 discusses major implications of the program for the educational system. Appended are five supplementary sections tagged to portions of the text, along with a list of studies commissioned by the program directing committee and a list of sources and contacts for consultation, advice, and evidence. A list of figures is also included. (TE)
