Work cat.: Chopko, S. Results mapping and goal attainment scaling as evaluation methods for the UAB Comprehensive Child Development
Program, 2002: leaves 14-15 ("RM [results mapping] is a new technique designed to provide service programs with an opportunity
to evaluate the success of their method of documenting contributions toward goal attainment, as well as potentially isolating
which contributions of a particular program are useful and beneficial to the service recipients ... RM also focuses on the
program success stories, as opposed to the average case (as more quantitative evaluation methods may do), in order to provide
the most information about what the program is doing "right" ...RM is a relatively new technique, and therefore lacks the
numerous published stidues detailing outcomes and difficulties associated with BM")

social programs and virtually all community development efforts share a common dilemma. The best of what they do--the transformations
and healing they help catalyze, as well as their short-term contributions to longer-term outcomes--cannot be easily measured
... The best illustration of a program's work is frequently found in stories that relate its most dramatic successes with
clients ..."; p. 45 "Results mapping is used to map, score, analyze, and provide feedback to improve the best work that a
program does with its clients, be these individuals, families, teams, groups, communities, organizations, or systems.")

mapping - [taken from the work of Barry Kibel], this form of planning and evaluation included stringing together a collection
of stories which demonstrate different levels of community and individual change. Levels range from education and information
to real community change where there is significant impact solving community problems or creating community "health")

of evaluation developed by Dr. Barry Kibel that starts with qualitative information in the form of "success stories" that
