3. Program

4. A program is a sequence of intentional actions and events organized in a manner that they result in valued outcomes for a clearly defined audience.

5. How does a program work?

6. Good things happen. We do stuff.

7. If If A Then B Then C

8. Logic Model(logic modeling, program planning, program design, outcome engineering)

9. What is a logic model? • A graphic representation of a program, • supported by a program theory, • depicted as a logical chain of “if-then” relationships, • and guides program program implementation and evaluation.

10. Three Major Components of Logic Models

11. Defining Outputs

12. Three Types of Outcomes

13. A Simple Linear Model

14. Generic Program Logic Model

15. Program Planning Worksheet

16. Let’s look at some logic models for specific programs.

19. Why Use Logic Models? • Planning Tool • Blueprint for Implementation • Guides Evaluation • Strengthens Case for Investment • Simple Image of a Complex Phenomenon • Reflect Shared Understanding • Diagnose Program Flaws

20. Who Uses Logic Models? • W.K. Kellogg Foundation • Centers for Disease Control • United Way of America • Harvard Family Research Project • Cooperative Extension Service

21. Steps in Logic Modeling • Convene a planning group • Large room and lots of paper • Template or free form • Create a model beginning with outcomes • Get feedback from outside • Revise • Plan evaluation and select indicators
