在过去的15年里，美国教育政策的一个显著特点是伴随着评估的任务。教育方面的大多数重大政策倡议，如同保健和社会服务方面的政策倡议一样，都对政策对预期受益者的影响进行了正式的系统评价。总的来说，联邦政府每年花费数亿美元来了解人类服务政策在实现其设计目标方面的效果如何。评价活动和支出的激增是合理的。所有这些分析的假定目的是提高政策的有效性。评估，修辞去，将确定工作良好的计划和政策，使他们可以扩大，并找到工作不佳的计划和政策，使他们可以终止或修改。分析干预的组成部分战略的效果的评估表明，哪些政策的组成部分是成功的，在何种条件下的客户类型，将提供修改政策和调整他们的需要和参与者的生活条件的基础。简而言之，企业就是要运用社会科学的方法和技术，为资源的合理配置和福利政策的改善服务。成千上万的美国社会科学家被吸引到
