Public managers, contractors, and grantees conducting evaluations
for government operate in complex environment where policymakers
and commissioners of evaluation expect different types of
"evidence" and simultaneously employ different criteria in judging
the quality of that evidence. This text provides a road map for
evaluators doing business within or for government, and public
managers who are expected to assess and use evidence generated by a
large variety of evaluation approaches. The book provides
checklists and how-to guidance to help students and other readers
develop skills in important activities such as: assessing the
quality of evidence claims; developing theories of change to guide
the design and evaluation of programs and policies; developing
learning agendas to bridge the gap between evidence producers and
potential evidence users; and increasing the support of public
leaders and executives in the generation and use of evidence to
inform their decision-making. The authors include end-of-chapter
exercises for readers to test their ability to apply the skills
described.
