Where can I locate an independent evaluator and what should be the selection criteria for choosing one?
Universities can be good sources for evaluators, as can referrals from your peers. The state commission in your state may be able to provide a list of college and university contacts that have evaluation expertise. National conferences can also be excellent sources for evaluators. Please see additional resources listed at the end of this FAQ, including the American Evaluation Associations Find an Evaluator pages which list research firms/evaluators available by state.
