Managing evaluation is now an area of priority concern in both schools and colleges, but despite a growing number of books on education management few have dealt with the subject of managing evaluation in any depth. The granting of substantial devolved powers to schools and colleges under the Education Reform Act also has fundamental implications for evaluation. "Managing Evaluation in Education" is designed to meet this need, and draws on the author's major two-year project into management development for monitoring, review and evaluation in TVEI. It begins by considering the meaning of evaluation and of management and the relation between them. It considers the context in which evaluation must be managed in schools and colleges, and addresses the question of the need for on-going monitoring and review, before proceeding through the stages of the evaluation process, giving particular consideration to the management issues which arise at each stage.
