Another indicator of the growth and professionalization of a field is the development of standards, guiding principles, and codes of conduct for individuals engaged in the profession. By the end of the 1960s, program developers, sponsors, and evaluators recognized the need for rigorous standards to guide program evaluation. In 1974, representatives from three national professional associations joined together to form the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation. The committee developed and disseminated three sets of standards including the Program Evaluation Standards, the Personnel Evaluation Standards, and the Student Evaluation Standards. In 1994, the membership of the AEA Board approved the Guiding Principles for Evaluators intended to be a guide to the professional ethical conduct of evaluators. (The Program Evaluation Standards and the Evaluators’ Ethical Guiding Principles, a later version of the Guiding Principles for Evaluators, were discussed in greater detail in Chapter 2.)
