Building Evaluation Capacity: 72 Activities for Teaching and Training Hallie S. Preskill

Click 'Additional Materials' for downloadable samples

Evaluative thinking is an acquired competence, not at all natural. This book offers the best and most comprehensive materials and exercises available for evaluation teaching and training. Students need practice to develop evaluation skills. These exercises provide opportunities to practice. Stakeholders need to learn to think evaluatively to participate meaningfully in evaluations. Every evaluation is therefore also a teaching opportunity and these materials facilitate the essential understandings needed to engage stakeholders. At the essence of all 72 activities presented by Preskill and Russ-Eft, from understanding different types of evaluation to making methods choices and analyzing data, is the challenge of thinking evaluatively. This book is a tremendous contribution to the profession.
-Michael Quinn Patton, author of Utilization-Focused Evaluation and Qualitative Research & Evaluation Methods

This book is an excellent resource for classroom and field instruction as well as professional development.
-Katherine Ryan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Finally, here is a book that goes beyond the theory of evaluation, or the question of what evaluation entails. Instead, it provides hundreds of practical approaches to actually do it. Beyond being all you wanted to know but were afraid to ask, this answers questions most of us have never thought about. It is a remarkable gift to our profession.
-John H. Zenger, Managing Partner of Extraordinary Performance Group and CEO of Provant, Inc.
