Evaluation Concepts

• Evaluation is the act of placing a value,
  positive or negative, on something.
• A less than full positive value implies that
• the object of the evaluation can be
• improved through some change.
• The responsibility of the evaluator is to be an
  agent of change working to improve a program in
  the many ways identified by evaluation results
• From Windsor, R., Baranowski, T., Clark, N., and
  Cutter, G. (1994). Evaluation of health
  promotion, health education, and disease
  prevention programs. Mountain View, CA Mayfield
  publishing Co., p. 29.
