Editors’ Notes (Michael Quinn Patton, Patricia Patrizi).

1. Case Teaching and Evaluation (Michael Quinn Patton, Patricia Patrizi).
Using the case method for evaluation training offers special opportunities for professional development but requires particular facilitation skills to be effective.

2. Evaluation of the Fighting Back Initiative (Kay E. Sherwood).
This case is a controversial evaluation of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s multisite initiative that employed ­community-generated strategies aimed at reducing the use and abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs.

3. Evaluation of the Central Valley Partnership of the James Irvine Foundation (Martha S. Campbell, Michael Quinn Patton, Patricia Patrizi).
This is a documentary account of changing evaluator roles and the potential tensions between the accountability, learning, and ­capacity-building purposes of evaluation.

4. Evaluating Home Visitation: A Case Study of Evaluation at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation (Kay E. Sherwood).
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation devoted substantial resources to evaluation of home visitation as a child development service model. The results have had a substantial impact on the field and have sparked considerable methodological debate.

5. Evaluation Case Teaching from a Participant Perspective (John Bare).
A participant in evaluation case teaching sessions provides reflections.
