Abstract:

Inclusive evaluation approaches that emphasize a participatory, collaborative approach to evaluation are grounded in important notions, worthy of dialogue and debate within the contines of the academy and professional societies. Discussions of these approaches have forever changed the way evaluators think, talk about, and do evaluation. However, there is much less conversation about the advantages and challenges of using these evaluation approaches in practice. To address these issues, five evaluators decided to propose a panel for the 1996 American Evaluation Meeting on this topic. The purpose of the panel was to consider what inclusive evaluation approaches look like in current practice and how to implement these approaches in practice successfully.
