OverviewThe most important work of evaluators in the 21st Century will be to evaluate social programs designed to prevent and ameliorate social problems that threaten the well-being of children, adolescents, substantial portions of the world's adult populations, and the elderly. This work will inevitably be carried out in a wide range of settings, including schools, communities, and non-profit and for-profit organizations of many shapes and sizes. Drawing upon the knowledge and experience of some of the most well-traveled and well-known evaluators in the world today, the volume incorporates cutting-edge perspectives on: evaluation as a transdiscipline; results-oriented management; empowerment, fourth generation, inclusive, and theory-driven evaluation; cultural competency in evaluation; and frameworks for integrating diverse visions for evaluation. As such, the book will be of value to practicing evaluators, evaluators-in-training, scholars, teachers of evaluation and research methods, and other professionals interested in how to improve social problem-solving efforts in the new millennium.
