This book is an easy to follow guide to evaluation that seeks to "demystify" the evaluation process. This straight-forward book encourages social service workers to become active participants in the evaluation process, helping them to recognize the risks associated with it, as well as the rewards that can be the result. To make evaluation processes run more smoothly, Professor Brun encourages the people involved to patiently clarify their goals and resources. The importance of program evaluation to agencies funding and survival often adds to the pressure of a potentially daunting task. This book recognizes that program evaluation can be intimidating, so it gives the social service worker tools to make the process more approachable. The book includes a glossary, references, and appendices.
