This edition places a greater emphasis on equity and theories, offering a comprehensive exploration of various evaluation approaches. Leading authorities have contributed chapters that provide an in-depth description of each theory's goals, appropriate evaluation types, program applicability, specific prescriptions, and observable actions that help define the theory.

The book is organized around theories rather than individual theorists, providing a clearer framework for readers. It offers practical insights and tools to assist evaluators in selecting suitable approaches for different evaluation sizes, contexts, and stages, considering their personal values.

New chapters in this edition cover culturally responsive evaluation, Indigenous evaluation, and developmental evaluation, reflecting the growing importance of diverse perspectives and approaches in evaluation. Additionally, a chapter dedicated to distilling the goals, methods, and standards of evaluations based on each theory offers valuable guidance for practitioners.

A case study chapter highlights the role of theory in evaluation policy, emphasizing its significance in shaping evaluation practices and outcomes.

With its revised content and theoretical focus, the third edition of the Theory Tree book remains a valuable resource for evaluators, researchers, and practitioners seeking to enhance their understanding and effectiveness in evaluation.
