Abstract	A scale, summary sheet, and checklist provide a guide for selecting elementary social studies materials. The checklist is based on trends in social studies as found in professional literature and published social studies materials. It is appropriate for use by individual teachers, curriculum committees, or curriculum coordinators. Aimed at being a second step in the curriculum decision-making process, the important decisions of setting goals and objectives are first established by a local curriculum committee. Instructions for the checklist are followed by a scale for approximating the reviewer's perceptions of materials as related to the specific checklist items. The checklist contains sections on items concerning an overview of materials, text, or series, and the conceptual structure of the materials; items relating to areas of cultural equality and implicit biases and to self-development and values; items concerning format, modes of instruction and evaluation; and a statement of reviewer's general impressions. Sources used in the construction of the checklist are included. (Author/KSM)
