101748: Client-Centered Evaluation: Ethics for 21st Century Practitioners

About the Course:

Ultimately, evaluation belongs in the hands of the person most affected, the client, who should testify whether a conventionally evaluated intervention has attained his or her desired goal, as well as demonstrate that he or she can perform this intervention independently. Conventional evaluation is simultaneously performed on behalf of society to document the effective and efficient performance of public-financed service.
