Rezensionen

The authors of How to be Involved in Program Evaluation make clear the purpose of evaluation, the need for evaluation and the role of the program director in initiating positive evaluation. They have developed a general evaluation model that can be used for assessing an individual progam or a whole school package. There is also a useful glossary providing concise definitions of program evaluation terms and a comprehensive compilation of reference materials. School Administrator This text discusses the various steps in school program evaluation from the vantage points of both the evaluator and the program director. Written by two educational psychologists and a school evaluator, it provides an overview of the General Evaluation Model along with real-world examples of its implantation (both successful and unsuccessful).
