Program evaluation requires attention to rationality, rigor, and
careful methods. Yet precision and accuracy alone do not guarantee
that program evaluations will be implemented. What prevents an
evaluation from being thrown on a shelf to gather dust? Author
Gerald Emison, a practitioner with more than 20 years experience,
knows that the consumers of program evaluations operate in a
decidedly practical and political arena where decision making is a
very human and sometimes messy process. Getting students from ideas
to outcomes means that knowing clients' needs and effectively
communicating results are just as crucial as an evaluator's
theoretical knowledge and statistical analysis. Emison wants to
help students translate their mastery of methodology into useable
program evaluations that are implemented and affect actual
programs. Short and to-the-point, Practical Program Evaluations
hones in on the applied side of program evaluation, with the goal
of creating and presenting program evaluations that are used and
improve public enterprises. A handy supplement to core texts,
Emison offers honest advice, emphasizing practices that focus on
the client, content, control and communication of program
evaluations.
