National Evaluation Systems, Inc., has developed curriculum evaluation techniques, in terms of learner verification, which may be used to help the curriculum-development efforts of publishing companies, state education departments, and universities. This document includes a summary of the learner-verification approach, with data collected about a new mathematics series, and a report about the application of the procedure to the "Series r" reading program developed by the Macmillan Publishing Company. The report describes five components of learner verification (overall student achievement, specific student achievement, specific student growth and retention, and student and teacher opinion and satisfaction data), discusses the evaluative findings for each of these components, summarizes the overall evaluation, and contains charts illustrating the findings.
