The objectives of curriculum evaluation are to: examine how historical, philosophical, ethical, social, economic and political factors influence curriculum; evaluate curriculum methods and structures in relation to national standards and value-added mandates; and relate cognitive and brain-based research to curricular methods, structure and intents. It also aims to analyze the compatibility of curriculum and assessments, explore curriculum's effects on teaching, learning, supervision and policy, evaluate curricular demands of a digital age, and define a personal philosophy around curriculum design, development and implementation.
