The framework steps “Assess context,” “Describe the program,” “Focus the evaluation questions and design,” “Gather credible evidence,” “Generate and support conclusions,” and “Act on findings” appear in the inner circle conveying a circular motion. The federal evaluation standards “Relevance and utility,” “Rigor,” “Independence and objectivity,” “Transparency,” and “Ethics” appear in the center of the circle.
