The first book to focus on the required steps for preparing to conduct an evaluation, A Practical Guide to Program Evaluation Planning: Theory and Case Examples guides evaluators in planning a comprehensive, yet feasible, program evaluation-from start to design-within any context. Co-editors Debra J. Holden and Marc A. Zimmerman first present their Evaluation Planning Incorporating Context (EPIC) model, then include articles from contributing authors who use the model to describe evaluation processes in specific settings, such as a school-based program, a program administered by a service agency, a community-based program, and a national media campaign.
