Evaluation Review, 1985, vol. 9, issue 1, 3-20

Abstract: In 1980, five federal special education longitudinal qualitative impact evaluations were all prematurely terminated. Given the popularity of case studies as part of educational evaluations, the increasing acceptance of qualitative methodology, and the probable continuation of annual funding patterns that pose a threat to the completion of multiyear studies, future studies of this sort are likely to find themselves similarly at risk. What happened, why it happened, what salvage decisions were made and what could have been done may have implications for the design of RFPs and evaluation plans so that the salvageability and usability of future studies will be maximized.
