| Abstract:
This session will provide an opportunity for those who teach one or more courses in program evaluation or have an interest in teaching such a course to engage in conversation with the authors of the text they use or would like to use with their classes. A unique feature of this session is that the authors who are invited to participate have a text that is most frequently identified as one that is used by actual instructors of program evaluation courses. Among the questions for the authors to address are: "What was your purpose for writing the text we use?" "Who do you see as users of your text?" "What value(s) do you see reflected in your writing that will in turn support how you see evaluation should or could be practiced?" This session will provide ample time for interactive Q&A between authors and session attendees.

Having been identified as an author of a most frequently used textbook in program evaluation classes, this session will allow the opportunity for this author to engage in a dialogue with its users by sharing what motivated the purpose for writing the text as well as providing ideas regarding its use and value in the practice of evaluation. Having been a member of the TIG: TOE for a number of years, an appreciation is known as to what influences AEA members to identify it as a resource to aid in their instruction. To this end a mutual exchange between author and instructor is looked towards with excitement.

Having been identified as an author of a most frequently used textbook in program evaluation classes, this session will allow the opportunity for this author to engage in a dialogue with its users by sharing what motivated the purpose for writing the text as well as providing ideas regarding its use and value in the practice of evaluation. Having a primary focus on the involvement of primary intended users of its results, the approach taken within a utilization-focused evaluation has application across multiple settings. The mutual exchange between author and instructor can provide additional examples for its application.
