The Developmental Evaluation Mindset: Eight Guiding Principles, Michael Quinn PattonReviewsCentral to this book is the notion that DE is principle-driven (a most refreshing change away from best practices ). DE is about learning and adjusting innovations for systems change, providing a basis for evaluations that embrace adaptation as conditions shift. Whether you are an evaluation student, instructor, or practitioner, the cases will help you learn your way into DE. Use them as part of your ongoing apprenticeship, as DE is learned through practice. You will appreciate the emphasis on the readiness conditions needed for DE to flourish. For anyone committed to participatory inquiry and action research, this book will become a trusted companion. --Ricardo Ramirez, PhD, independent researcher and evaluation consultant, Guelph, Ontario, Canada The contributors delve into the 'whats, ' 'whys', and 'how-tos, ' of this powerful, adaptive model of evaluation. Chapters highlight key conceptual linkages to systems thinking and complexity theory and show how these ideas can come to life with community stakeholders and policy makers. The case studies are a treasure trove of powerful stories, practical guidance, and teaching tools that bring DE to life across populations, cultures, settings, and nations. Developmental Evaluation Exemplars represents a significant advancement in the theory, methods, and practice of evaluation and systems change. --Rebecca Campbell, PhD, Department of Psychology, Michigan State University The field has been waiting for a book like this one. A well-balanced, diverse set of authors focus on good examples of DE practice. The book shows how innovative projects and programs require evaluation practices and approaches that honor complexity, flexibility, and systems thinking. It describes with clarity how DE actually happens in complex ecologies and settings across the globe. This book is written for any serious student of evaluation at the graduate or postgraduate level. I am very happy to add it to my shelf of required and recommended materials for my classes in education policy and evaluation. --Rodney Hopson, PhD, College of Education and Human Development, George Mason University Central to this book is the notion that DE is principle-driven (a most refreshing change away from a best practicesa (TM)).
