This volume is the seventh in an annual series of works on educational productivity centered on how more can be accomplished in education without consuming additional human, economic, and social resources. In "Evaluation Research for Educational Productivity" a key question addressed by the authors is: How do current developments in evaluation research enhance our capacity to come to conclusions useful to policy makers and program professionals? Reynolds and Walberg have brought together exemplary contributions from leading scholars who describe their evaluation approaches in education and reflect on their research methods and lessons learned from what went right and wrong in "real world" efforts. This volume will be most useful to program administrators and policy makers.
