Over the course of 20 years and eight editions, Program Evaluation for Social Workers: Foundations of Evidence-Based Programs has remained steadfast in its mission to prepare students to engage effectively in evaluative activities within their organizations. Authored by Richard M. Grinnell, this edition continues to offer a unique approach that is both realistic and practical, making it user-friendly for beginners while also providing insights beneficial for more advanced learners. Unlike other textbooks on the market, this book uniquely integrates program-level evaluation with case-level evaluation methods, acknowledging that neither can fully capture the complexities of social work practice alone. By demonstrating how these two approaches complement each other, Grinnell provides an accessible framework that is adaptable to real-world scenarios. This edition covers 464 pages and was published on January 25, 2019, by Oxford University Press with ISBN-13: 978-0190916510. The book measures 8 x 0.8 x 9.9 inches and is designed to equip social workers with the tools needed to evaluate programs critically and effectively.
