Order Description
Cheryl Brown is a program administrator for a state department of social services. She has been responsible for implementing a parenting program in which the goal is to reduce the incidence of child abuse and child neglect. To evaluate the program, she decides that she will depend on one performance measure: the number of cases of reported abuse and neglect.

Use what you have just learned about Tyler’s approach to evaluation, Provus’s Discrepancy Evaluation Model, Logic models, and goal-free evaluation to expand the evaluation design for this program. Most of this information is found in readings, particularly Chapter 6 in Fitzpatrick, J.L, Sanders, J.R., & Worthen, B.R. (2011). Program evaluation: Alternative approaches and practical guideline (4th ed.). Upper Saddle River NJ: Pearson.

What are the risks of basing the evaluation on just this one measure? What are the advantages? This paper should be 3-5 pages and should reference at least 3 credible sources ( the text book may be used as one of the three references).
