Ethics Sessions at Evaluation 2006

The AEA Ethics Committee compiled this list in an effort to present AEA conference attendees with a sampling both of the wide variety of sessions on ethical issues and sessions that highlight the work of AEA to broaden the awareness and conversation surrounding ethical issues in evaluation. These sessions were included based on an indication of content related to the AEA Guiding Principles for Evaluators, Joint Committee Standards and/or the AEA Ethics Committee. We encourage all attendees to review the entire session description in the conference program before deciding to attend. For more information on ethical standards in evaluation please visit these websites: the AEA website http://www.eval.org/Publications/GuidingPrinciples.asp where the Guiding Principles for Evaluators are posted; the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation, posted at http://www.wmich.edu/evalctr/jc/.
