Perhaps the most direct and obvious use of the principles would be to guide practice in a prospective manner. We would envision evaluators collaboratively working with members of the program community to engage in planning and implementing CAE on the basis of guidance from the principles. The indicator document provides some clues about actions to take and questions to ask to adhere to the tenets of the principles. We would expect that the actual collective exercise of familiarizing and internalizing would be at the same time instructive and inspiring of consideration of alternative courses of action. As a given CAE project unfolds over time, the principles could be used to stimulate ongoing reflection and dialogue, perhaps leading to alternative actions and/or decisions to reconsider strategies. Following implementation, it would be useful to retrospectively collectively reflect on the process and debrief about lessons learned in terms of both what went well and what challenges require attention. The suggestion is a natural segue into the next envisioned application.
