This booklet is one of five related publications that delineate the program developed by the District of Columbia Public Schools for fulfilling the district's educational mission. The heart of this effort is the design and implementation of a districtwide competency-based curriculum for the prekindergarten level through grade 12, plus the development of attendant organizational structures and planning and evaluation strategies. This particular volume focuses on the curriculum design and presents the sequence of behavior tasks that students are expected to perform from the prekindergarten level through grade 12. It also identifies the various skills students need in order to perform these desired tasks. Most of the booklet outlines the general educational objectives for different curricular areas and lists specific performance tasks for students at each instructional level. (JG)
