"Drawing on their many years of experience evaluating a school-based, collaborative services program, the authors break down the sometimes complex and intimidating process of evaluation into manageable action steps. Further, in going beyond tools and techniques, the authors show how evaluation can be used to both improve accountability and foster organizational learning. A very good resource for those in collaborative services who are now to evaluation."
