Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper first traces the development of competencies for professional evaluators and identifies interpersonal competencies as a key component of evaluator education in the future. It then outlines two roles for evaluators that may affect the application of interpersonal competencies, discusses four ideas for their development, and briefly addresses the possibility of evaluation capacity building. It concludes with a brief discussion of where and how evaluator training or education might effectively teach these competencies and know that people had learned them.
