Evaluation is now universally recognised as an essential part of any effective education and training system. An important aim of recent government policy has been to introduce more systematic approaches to evaluation in LEAs and their institutions. In the training field also a major task of the new Technical and Enterprise Councils is to ensure that their programmes are subject to assessment within an overall evaluation strategy. There are, however, two major problems in its implementation: lack of time and a perceived lack among middle and senior managers of the special skills necessary for an evaluation to have external validity. This book provides a solution to both problems. It offers evaluation processes which accept time limitations and work within them an it strips away the mystique of evaluation to describe methods and procedures which will enable educational and training staff at all levels to organise and carry out useful evaluations. Administrators, teachers and trainers as well as the staff of local and national inspectorates will welcome its cogent and realistic guidance.
