Book Overview
This book addresses the challenges of conducting program evaluations in real-world contexts where evaluators and the agencies face budget and time constraints and where critical data is missing. The book is organized around a seven-step model developed by the authors, which has been tested and refined in workshops. Vignettes and case studies--representing evaluations from a variety of geographic regions and sectors--demonstrate adaptive possibilities for small projects with budgets of a few thousand dollars to large-scale, long-term evaluations. The text incorporates quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method designs and this Second Edition reflects important developments in the field over the last five years.

An excellent resource - well organized
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book was the assigned text for a doctoral course in policy evaluation in a college of education. The book lays out a thoughtful process for program evaluation, and this was easily adapted by the instructor and students to apply to the policy analysis domain. The book is well-organized and uses easy to understand concepts and flow charts that could assist anyone charged with a program or policy evaluation. This book will be a reference book on my shelf for many years in the future.
