The co-editors of this text developed a model to guide the complex process of planning for program evaluations in a variety of settings. This model, entitled Evaluation Planning Incorporating Context (EPIC), builds on previous work by providing a practical, applied step-by-step process for planning a program evaluation in any setting. Contributing authors then use the EPIC model to describe an evaluation process that they followed in a variety of settings. The EPIC model and the case examples presented in this book provide evaluators with the conceptual tools and a framework for thinking about the pre-evaluation tasks that may be necessary for a successful, useful, and informative evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresent new evaluation planning model that provides a step-by step process for how to plan for a program evaluation in any context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces students to the issues in planning for an evaluation within selected contexts using case studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on planning prior to design by providing practical guidance to plan an evaluation from the start, before a design can or has been determined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended Audience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a vital supplemental text for evaluation courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063786651888,"sku":"9781412967754","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412967754_p0.jpg?v=1763772560","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412967754","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
