  1. How to Get Where You’re Going (Part 1) Why You Should Use a Logic Model to Translate Your Mission and Vision into a Program National Institute for Magnet School Leadership Mystic, Connecticut July 14, 2008

  2. A logic model is… …a conceptual framework for describing the relationships between investments, activities, and results. INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES The framework supports an integrated approach to planning, implementation, and evaluation by charting your program’s theory of change.

  3. A logic model is… …a road map that shows where you are going, how you will get there, and what landmarks you will see when you arrive. “If you don’t know where you are going, how are you gonna know when you get there? -Yogi Berra

  4. A logic model also is… …a way of thinking, and reflects a process of engaging participants in deep conversation. It is more than completing a graphic organizer. “We build the road and the road builds us. -Sri Lankan saying

  5. Let’s look at an everyday example. Source: University of Wisconsin-Extension, Program Development and Evaluation H E A D A C H E Getpills Takepills Feel better Situation INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES

  6. Let’s try a “simple” logic model for magnet schools. Situation: minority group isolation (MGI); declining enrollment; low-performing staff and students • Reduced MGI, increase enrollment • Student achievement rises • High-performing school Magnet School Program Investments (staff, materials, time, $$, partners) • Recruitment • Theme-based curriculum • Professional development INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES

  7. A More Developed Logic Model - Parent Education Program Source: University of Wisconsin-Extension, Program Development and Evaluation SITUATION: During a county needs assessment, majority of parents reported that they were having difficulty parenting and felt stressed as a result INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES Parents increase knowledge of child dev Assess parent ed programs Parents identify appropriate actions to take Reduced stress Staff Parents of 3-10 year olds attend Parents better understanding their own parenting style Improved child-parent relations Design- deliver evidence-based program of 8 sessions Money Parents use effective parenting practices Partners Parents gain skills in new ways to parent Research Facilitate support groups Parents gain confidence in their abilities

  8. So Why Should I Use A Logic Model? ACTVITY:What problems can you imagine being addressed with a logic model? Apply the following purpose statements to your own school and district context to understand how a logic model can help your school meet its vision and mission.

  9. A logic model is a helpful tool for PLANNING… • providing a coherent conceptual framework for the program. • increasing understanding about the program among all stakeholders. • identifying key conditions, not just symptoms of problem(s) being addressed. • uncovering assumptions about program activities and their impact. • motivating staff.

  10. A logic model is a helpful tool for IMPLEMENTATION… • developing and managing a clear implementation plan (the who, what, when, where, how). • differentiating activities (“what we do”) from outcomes (“the results we get”). • prioritizing the allocation of staffing and other resources. • aligning the use of resources across all levels of the program. • enhancing teamwork among stakeholders.

  11. A logic model is a helpful tool for EVALUATION… • communicating success and increasing resources, opportunities, recognition for the program. • identifying gaps in program or areas of need. • supporting expansion or replication of program. • providing a common language for program staff and program evaluators. • identifying outcomes to measure and wisely target the use of evaluation resources. • preparing for a rigorous evaluation.
