ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews various curricula and special types of programs. Given the attention to literacy and numeracy, it is not surprising that these dominate the literature as outcomes, but there are also meta-analyses relating to writing, drama/arts, science, values, and integrated curricula programs. The chapter also reviews specific programs such as creativity programs, bilingual programs, career interventions, outdoor programs, moral education programs, perceptual motor programs, tactile stimulation programs, and play. Table 8.1 summarizes the data examined.
