Abstract
Responsive evaluation is an approach, a predisposition, to the evaluation of educational and other programs. Compared to most other approaches it draws attention to program activity, to program uniqueness, and to the social plurality of its people. This same predisposition toward merit and shortcoming can be built into or can be recognized in other approaches, such as a stakeholder evaluation or connoisseurship evaluation.
