This document is a guideline for selection and evaluation of social studies curriculum materials developed by the Marin Social Studies Project. Questions are presented which will help in the examination of materials so that specific strengths and weaknesses in the materials can be determined. Consideration is given to the objectives and rationale of the materials, inquiry processes and topics presented, recommendations of appropriate teaching strategies, means of student motivation, appropriate media forms, and related evaluation instruments. A checklist for curriculum materials evaluation is included to aid the selector in quantification of the evaluation and in making comparisons among alternative sets of materials.
