Abstract
Evaluators have often had trouble providing analyses that are of practical use to policymakers. A major reason for this is that evaluators characteristically pay little attention to variables that are politically relevant. The National Institute of Education's evaluation of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education act, used extensively by Congress in 1977-1978, provides a clear example of how attention to political concerns can pay off for evaluators in increased utilization of their products.Keywords
