Abstract
AbstractA form of self‐assessment, termed practitioner‐centered evaluation, is proposed for human services agencies. In contrast to assessment methods that may require an outside evaluator, this qualitative technique focuses on the informal theories of behavioral change that underlie a program‐as‐implemented. It takes into account interacting cause‐and‐effect relationships and relies on the ability of staff members to document success and failure in the context of their own theories. As a vehicle for identifying program elements that are effective in achieving behavioral change and other goals, practitioner‐centered evaluation can be the basis of franker, more productive conversations between funders and grantees and between staff members and their governing boards.
