Some improvements but a long way to go
The provision of social care for people in prison in England has historically been lacking. Seeking to address this, the 2014 Care Act clarified that local authorities are responsible for identifying, assessing and meeting prisoners’ social care needs. Against this background, in 2020 we undertook a survey to explore the emerging services for this group. Eighty-six (57%) local authorities responded. A mixed methods approach was taken. Numerical d…

Professionalizing Evaluation
This article compares the purposes and content of the four foundational documents of the American Evaluation Association (AEA): the Program Evaluation Standards, the AEA Public Statement on Cultural Competence in Evaluation, the AEA Evaluator Competencies, and the AEA Guiding Principles. This reflection on alignment is an early effort in the third step of professionalization: defining how to use and recognize evaluator competencies. The analysis …
Conducting Mixed Methods Research
Dialectical pluralism is both a philosophical process theory and grounded approach for producing syntheses from differences, working toward mutually beneficial solutions, and, through group processes, produces procedural/process justice in mixed methods research and evaluation. Ontologically, dialectical pluralism views reality as plural and changing. Epistemologically, it follows a dialectical, dialogical, hermeneutical approach that includes li…

This article addresses this gap. Qualitative data from semi-structured staff interviews were drawn from a multiple case study of community mental health teams (CMHTs) for older people, some with and others without social worker members. Interviews included questions about team…

Assessment Outcomes of Pre-service Teachers
As a response to the shortage of credentialed teachers in California, a four-year major called Urban Learning (ULRN), combining both the undergraduate and a teaching credential program was developed by professors at the Charter College of Education at California State University, Los Angeles. The assessment results of the program after its first two-year pilot period showed that ULRN students (N=153) exhibited higher motivation to learn and tende…

For she realized what she had been taught was that nobody wanted white girls except their empty-headed, effeminate counterparts--white boys. . . . As far back as she could remember it seemed something understood: that while white men would climb on black women old enough to be their mothers-for the experience--white women were considered sexless, contemptible and ridiculous by all. . . . They were clear, dead water. Her mother, though not a maid,…
