The Developing Models for Special Education, an ESEA IV-Cproject, utilized a novel
evaluation design to produce data for national validation by the Joint Dissemination
Review Panel. The purposes of the article are: (1) to present in graphic and narrative
form the theoretical model of the evaluation design, (2) to describe in operational
terms the application of the design to the evaluation of the project, (3) to present in
graphic and narrative form the results of the evaluation, and (4) to discuss the
problems and benefits associated with both the theoretical model and the application
of this design to similar projects.
