CHOOSING MATERIALS
Reading these lists of resources, educators and parents may wonder how they can tell
which materials would best suit their needs. Douglas Carnine, director of the National Center
to Improve the Tools of Educators (funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of
Special Education Programs), suggests that schools and individuals follow a six-step process of
evaluation. Before choosing a new book or program, potential purchasers should ask
themselves:
1. Are the approach and its outcomes clearly defined?
2. Do instructional research findings indicate that the method is effective?
3. Is an accountability system for teaching and learning built into the method?
4. Is the method sustainable?
5. For which groups of students is the method equitable?
6. Are the costs of the method and its implementation reasonable?
The claims of publishers and other producers should be carefully examined and
substantiated before implementing any new approach. Parents and teachers should not assume
any one source is the final word. Instead, they should examine the information from several
sources. The most reliable information will be the consensus among these different sources.
