This model was designed to assist in the self-evaluations of elementary schools in Columbus, Ohio. One hundred and fifty-one schools participated. Each school chose their desired curriculum area to evaluate with the help of a Building Evaluation Committee, composed of the principal and teacher, parent, and sometimes student representatives. The PRIMES model offered services which included four evaluation specialists and a set of instruments prepared by the schools to evaluate five different curriculum areas: visual arts, drama, music, dance, and physical education. These areas were judged according to curriculum, physical facilities, materials and equipment, and supportive services. (Specific summaries and recommendations for sample schools are included.)
