What should we do if the curriculum review team members do not feel qualified or competent in completing some of the HECAT (e.g., the Accuracy Analysis)?
It is important to select review committee members who have the necessary expertise to complete the HECAT. Chapter 1 provides a list of persons who should be considered on your review committee for completing specific parts of the HECAT. For the Accuracy Analysis, for example, you should use persons who have research expertise (e.g., a university researcher), scientific expertise in the content area under review (e.g., a dietician for the topic healthy eating), and expertise in instructional delivery (e.g., a certified health educator or curriculum director). You should identify these experts prior to beginning the curriculum review. If desired, you can limit their assignments to cover only the parts of the HECAT for which they have expertise.
