Product Description
"Sometimes a book appears on your desk that successfully defines a field. You look at the book and say "thank you." Planning and Conducting Needs Assessments is such a book. . . . This book is clearly grounded in program planning and is not an afterthought or add-on to some other field. . . . I am excited to see this book appear in print. It clearly fills a niche that has been empty for some time: a practical approach to learning about and conducting needs assessments. . . . This is a marvelous book that should make a significant contribution to the field." --From the Foreword by Nick Eastmond, Utah State University "While it has the depth and breadth to be used in a classroom, Planning and Conducting Needs Assessments is written simply and directly enough to be a hands-on guide for needs assessment users and practitioners. The framework proposed by the authors is excellent in that it is readily understood and focuses attention on the most important details/issues in needs assessment practice. The fact that they also present an explanation of so many tools, including examples, makes the book required reading for anyone intending to plan or contract for a needs assessment." --John Theiss, Director of Planning and Evaluation, Texas

5 out of 5 stars Great Book   October 4, 2005
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I like this book very much. It is very thorough and comprehensive regarding needs assesment.


3 out of 5 stars Dense   May 6, 2003
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

It gets a 3 because it is full of information but no more because it is a dense and dreary text. Reading the postscript a few times helps put it in perspective but that is no substitute for good editing. The practical guide subtitle is not appropriate.
