Intended to help elementary and secondary school teachers model and teach communication skills in all subject matters, this curriculum guide is divided into four sections. The introduction describes the program's goals, explains how to use the guide, and presents grade appropriate profiles of communication skills competence. The second section lists indicators of student competence in speaking and understanding spoken English, evaluating and responding to messages, and building and maintaining human relationships. It also provides examples of student assessment records and sample activities. Section three presents a series of activities coded for grade level appropriateness and type of skill developed. The final section includes explanations, definitions, and a rationale and suggestions for teachers and students in utilizing communication techniques; illustrates the life application of specific communication skills; and lists both print and nonprint resources on communication methods and activities.
