Abstract

In this study a method was developed which made possible the identification of the roles of school system personnel and the assessment of their level of implementation. It was then applied to a significant curriculum project. The method consisted of five stages. The first three stages were concerned with the development, validation, and revision of an idealized model of the project. The key element in this model was a description of an ideal role for each member of the school system who was or should be involved with the project. In the fourth stage an attempt was made to assess the current state of implementation of the roles of school system personnel in terms of the role performance specified in the idealized model. This assessment, illuminative rather than judgmental in nature, gave rise to a set of recommendations designed to enhance the current role performance of school system personnel in the project.
