Social Work Evaluation: Principles and Methods

Rating:
Summary: author's review
Review: I wrote this book (with the help on two chapters from respected colleagues Michelle Carney and Larry Nackerud, both now of the University of Georgia.) The goal was to communicate some of the realities of evaluation in social work--the kinds of evaluations that cause great pleasure and pain--such as audits, monitoring, and the like. The book also includes more popularly taught methods such as single system design and traditional program evaluation methods. It's clearly and simply written--and I hope useful to those who want to teach and learn the subject.
