Praise for Evaluation in Action
" "Evaluation in Action: Interviews With Expert Evaluators" is a
must read for those who want to know how evaluations really take
place. "Marvin C. Alkin, "University"" of California, Los
Angeles"
""This book offers a rare opportunity to glimpse the
assumptions, values, logic, and reasoning behind evaluator choices.
It models the reflection required of good practice. The interviews
are acce""ssible and engaging, like being invited to a conversation
over coffee a tribute to the power of storytelling. They drew me in
and made me want to join the discussion and ask even more
questions. The section on cultural competence in evaluation is a
particu""larly significant contribution to the knowledge base of
our field. " Karen Kirkhart, "Syracuse"" University"," former
President of American Evaluation Association"" "
" This book is unique in the breadth of evaluation types and
settings covered and the interview format provides a personal,
in-depth picture of the evaluator s thinking. I m excited about
using it with my students. " Katye M. Perry, "Oklahoma"" State
University"," former Chair of the Topical Interest Group on
Teaching of Evaluation"
"This book fills a major gap in evaluation literature. In
addition to the cases, the introductory chapter is a masterful
distillation of key issues in evaluation, while the last two
chapters provide a concise analysis of the interaction of
evaluation theory and practice." Leslie Cooksy, "University"" of
Delaware"" "
""A fresh and insightful glimpse into the deliberations and
choices made by practicing evaluators. The questions asked of the
evaluators are right on target and give students of evaluation,
whether they are in the classroom or on the job, solid guidance on
navigating around the dilemmas that arise when dealing with
stakeholders and with sticky ethical challenges. This text fills a
need in training evaluators not met by current textboooks." "
Kathryn E. Newcomer, "George"" Washington University"
