Abstract
It was the purpose of this cooperative project to develop comprehensive teaching units for a social studies curriculum in nine grades--namely, kindergarten through grade eight--for teachers in Yolo County. Generalizations from the social science disciplines, as recommended by the Social Studies Framework for the Public Schools of California and as selected from ten doctoral dissertations completed at Stanford University,were incorporated in each grade level. Nine candidates for the degree of Master of Arts have participated in the total undertaking. Each has concentrated on the development of teaching units for a single grade.
