The assistant director of a recently completed curriculum development project, career education activities for junior high and middle school students, describes a solution to the quality-control problem the project faced and the deliberation that went into the design of a procedure for the periodic review of the quality of all materials under development. Also discussed are issues faced in the deliberation, how they were addressed, and the consequences of the review procedures for subsequent conduct of the project. The paper was presented as part of a symposium exploring the value of retrospective accounts of curriculum deliberation as a source of knowledge about the curriculum development process. (Author/MLF)
