Wake Late, Feel Sick, No Time, Don't Eat: Practical Methods to Evaluate School Breakfast Programs

This book reports the use of empowerment evaluation with a national school breakfast program in Australia known as the Good Start Breakfast Club. The empowerment evaluation (Fetterman, 2001) approach was used as the framework to develop a ?practical? methodology desired by the program managers and major sponsor to evaluate their program. Program personnel engaged in a process of self-evaluation and, in so doing, a suite of ?practical? evaluation tools was developed. During the application of empowerment evaluation the author served as facilitator and evaluation ?coach?, offering evaluation expertise throughout the process.
