Curriculum & Program Evaluation
Research in Curriculum & Program Evaluation
Organizations that develop and implement educational programs are increasingly interested in evidence-based practices to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a specific program or curriculum. The ERC provides evaluation of education programs and curriculum materials to assist schools, state agencies and non-governmental organizations to assess the efficacy of educational programs. ERC curriculum and program evaluations provide detailed feedback to stakeholders that allow identification of practices that could be modified to improve the program or curriculum. Using multiple research approaches and various sources of data, the ERC staff has completed program evaluations for several organizations.
