Abstract
Abstract The Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation (1994) has established standards for quality program evaluation that are encompassed in four domains: accuracy, utility, propriety, and feasibility. These guidelines provide a framework for evaluators working with human service programs in determining what information is important for an evaluation and the best way to gather the data. This article discusses the challenges that face evaluators in applying the standards, drawing upon the authors' experience in conducting a statewide evaluation of Even Start, a federally funded family literacy program. Suggestions to resolve some common evaluation challenges are presented.
