Abstract
This article explores several validation methods for the identification and dissemination of exemplary educational programs in the nation. It discusses the rationales for methods developed by the Program Effectiveness Panel and its predecessor, the Joint Dissemination Review Panel. Four selected validation methods are analyzed in terms of their comparative advantages and disadvantages. The article ends with recommendations oriented toward the U.S. Department of Education’s clients—educational policymakers and practitioners—and how their needs can be met.
