Sinopsis

How do you uncomplicate the subject of program evaluation for students without being too simplistic?áDavid Royse focuses on what readers really need to understand in order to apply useful program evaluation techniques in their practice serving individual clients, couples, and families. áDrawing on decades of teaching this subject, he skillfully takes an incremental approach to teaching so that students arenâÇÖt overwhelmed by information that they wonâÇÖt necessarily use in professional settings. áHe develops readersâÇÖ interest in each new chapterâÇÖs topic by incorporating real-life scenarios, excerpts from articles on program evaluation, and his own personal experiences in assessing and evaluating programs. Each chapter contains suggestions for additional reading and examples from current literature.áThese interesting-to-read segments not only show students that program evaluators and practitioners actually use these techniques, but they also gently expand readersâÇÖ knowledge of the field. Helpful features such as review questions and skill assessments are found at the end of each chapter. This text is also unique in the amount of coverage it provides on cultural sensitivity-ways áof understanding the concept and assessing its presence (or absence) among employees in agencies. Highly accessible and practical in its approach, this book is designed for undergraduates or graduate students in social work, counseling, and health-related programs and available for adoption in-classroom, online, or hybrid courses.á
