A program evaluator is both blessed and cursed with the myriad of possible information sources available. Simply put, these are sources (resources) from which and whom information is obtained and used to assist in the evaluation process. Such sources can be, but are not limited to, stakeholders, archival data, and program recipient or participants (who may or may not comprise your group of major stakeholders).
Review the literature on information sources commonly used by program evaluators. Write a 2- to 3-page paper in a Microsoft Word document identifying and discussing the following:
Three major sources of information and your reasons for choosing these sources.
The role of identified information sources in program evaluation.
Your plan to use the identified information sources within your own program evaluation project.
