This text provides a road map for evaluators doing business within or for government, and public managers who are expected to assess and use evidence generated by a large variety of evaluation approaches. The book provides checklists and how-to guidance to help students and other readers develop skills in important activities such as: assessing the quality of evidence claims; developing theories of change to guide the design and evaluation of programs and policies; developing learning agendas to bridge the gap between evidence producers and potential evidence users; and increasing the support of public leaders and executives in the generation and use of evidence to inform their decision-making. The authors include end-of-chapter exercises for readers to test their ability to apply the skills described"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Public administration $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Administrative agencies $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Organizational effectiveness. 650 0 $a Government accountability. 650 6 $a Administration publique (Science) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379188 $x Evaluation. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379188 650 6 $a Administration publique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379188 $x Evaluation. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379188 650 6 $a Efficacite organisationnelle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0064810 650 6 $a Obligation de rendre compte (Administration publique) $0 (CaQQLa)000261998 650 7 $a Administrative agencies $x Evaluation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00796767 650 7 $a Government accountability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01746414 650 7 $a Organizational effectiveness. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047852 650 7 $a Public administration $x Evaluation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082002 700 1 $a Hart, Nicholas, $e author. 830 0 $a Evaluation in practice series 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010923.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D32377FC141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
