The International Course of Study Advisory Committee [1] of the Church of the Nazarene (ICOSAC) has been involved for over six years in fulfilling its Manual mandated task of validating curricula used to prepare clergy for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene. In fact, the committee has validated over 90 different curricula as fulfilling the educational requirements for ordination under the guidelines contained in eight regional sourcebooks. Regional sourcebooks are reviewed diligently to be sure they follow the process described in the Manual and International Sourcebook on Ordination. The objective of this article is to stimulate a dialogue among educators and church leaders about effective ways to prepare Nazarene clergy that is based on objective evaluation and research principles rather than subjective evaluation. I. Evaluation in Outcome-based Education Fifty years ago Ralph Tyler, an educational psychologist, suggested that any educational program should answer four simple questions. 1. Why? What needs exist? 2. What? What are the program’s objectives? 3. How? How will you accomplish these objectives? 4. How will you know? (Gottman & Clasen, 1972, p. 9) Evaluation models for educational programs have proliferated and been refined over the last fifty years but they all seek to answer these four basic questions.
