Logic Model Structure Does the logic model fit on one sheet? Does each outcome statement have its own box? Is there only one ultimate outcome? Is there a realistic number of intermediate outcomes? (ideal is 2-3) Is there a realistic number of immediate outcomes per Intermediate outcome? (ideal is 2) Is there a realistic number of outputs per immediate outcome? (ideal is 1-3) Is there a clear logical relationship between each outcome and the outcomes (or outputs) that precede and follow it? Would someone external to and unfamiliar with the program understand what it aims to achieve, and how, by looking at the logic model alone? Outcome and Output Statements: General Does each outcome statement include only one idea (i.e., one change)? Do the outcome statements avoid phrases such as "through," "via," "by," "leading to," or "in order to"? from a verb in the past tense, that clearly indicates the direction of the change expected (e.g., increased, improved, strengthened, reduced, enhanced)? Does each outcome statement address: What (change is expected)? Who (will experience the change)? Where (where the result will occur)? Outcome and Output Statements: Specific Does the ultimate outcome describe a positive change in the state, condition, or wellbeing of the ultimate beneficiaries of the project, and not the surrounding circumstances? Do the intermediate outcomes reflect a change in behavior, practice, usage, or performance for the intermediaries or beneficiaries? such as skills, knowledge, awareness, etc., or access, attitudes, aspirations, etc., for the intermediaries or beneficiaries? Are the outputs direct products or services stemming from the planned activities of the project? address the following: What (direct product or service has been produced or rendered)? In what (subject or topic)? For whom? Do the outputs associated with each immediate outcome clearly contribute to the change described in that specific immediate outcome? Are the inputs organized by type (e.g. human, financial, information, material)? Are all inputs that would clearly be necessary to implement the activities included? Additional details Does the logic model include contextual factors?PSM B1816 Fall 2023 Individual Assignment 1 instructions PSM B1816 Fall 2023 Individual Assignment 1 Instructions Critique an existing program logic model Mapping out the inputs, activities, and outputs necessary to achieve specific immediate, intermediate, and ultimate outcomes of a program is a complex endeavor that requires researching similar interventions, soliciting input from multiple stakeholder groups, and understanding the context in which the issues are situated. Visualizing this information in a logic model strengthens the planning process and gives internal stakeholders a concise overview of what the program intends to achieve, and how. They are relevant to external audiences as well, for example managers of similar programs, who seek to replicate visually appealing, logically-sound models. But many existing logic models contain foundational issues that diminish their utility and stand to inspire confusion rather than comprehension. Requirements: Upload in Google Doc format (3 pages max) to your individual Google Drive folder Deadline: Oct 3, 2023 0 Step 1: search online, for example on Google or within published evaluation reports, to find and select an existing logic model that contains aws. Q My advice is to be strategic about the logic model you choose for this assignment, for example: a an existing logic model of a program at your place of employment You might consider presenting your work to colleagues and updating your resume accordingly; 0 an existing logic model ofa program at an organization you aspire to join; or 0 an existing logic model ofa program in your field of interest - You might consider submitting your work as part ofajob application 0 Step 2: Review the Individual Assignment 1 rubric (found here on our shared Google Drive). 0 Step 3: Select four assessment criteria to critique your logic model (note: select these criteria based on the logic model's aws). . Step 4: For Lch criterion that you select, adequately describe the following aspects: 0 The extent to which the criterion was met (e.g., # out of # outcome statements contain more than one idea) 0 The benets of fully meeting the criterion (i.e., Why is it important to ensure that the logic model follows that best practice to the full extent? Or, what are the pitfalls of failing to follow the best practice?); and 0 Recommendations for improvement (e.g., for outcome statements that contain more than one idea, here's a recommended format to follow: ) O Intro/Conclusion/Sources/Logic Model: I State your thesis clearly in your introduction (what claim are you making about logic models and what evidence do you have to support that claim?) see M for a helpful resource on thesis statements; I Put a stamp on your effort to convince us that your claim is evidence-based in your conclusion; I Cite multiple sources to support your claim; and PSM B1816 Fall 2023 Individual Assignment 1 Instructions I Include a PDF or screenshot of the logic model. Suggested essay format by paragraph headings (will create a more efficient grading process): - Introduction - Name of criterion 1 Name of criterion 2 Name of criterion 3 Name of criterion 4 - Conclusion
