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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntended Audience\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a vital supplemental text for evaluation courses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54245875188056,"sku":"9781412967754","price":105.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781412967754_5f298d7a-fefb-4aac-b55b-c1aa4790b926.jpg?v=1777775455","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/practical-guide-to-program-evaluation-planning","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
