What is PIES ? PIES is a framework of 10 accountability questions for: Planning Implementing Evaluating Achieving Success and Sustainability Slide Title: Getting to Outcomes Module: Evaluation Main Concept: GTO is the evaluation mechanism DELTA Projects are using Trainer notes: Use the car analogy here: Think about taking a long road trip. GTO not only helps you make sure that your car is working properly. You need gas, air in your tires, oil, etc. It also helps you know whether you are on the right road. Is this road going to take me where I want to go?

Slide Title: N/A Module: Evaluation Main Concept: GTO is the evaluation mechanism DELTA Projects are using Consider how Community is being defined and whether everyone’s needs are being considered equally? When reviewing data, is an intersectional lens being used to interpret the information? Ex. Higher rates of incarceration of African American women does not necessarily mean the black women are more violent than other racial and ethnic groups.

Prevention & Intervention – What’s the Difference? Prevention - preventing the problem behaviors (ex. violence) from initially occurring Focusing on conditions that support the problem behaviors Focusing on promoting conditions that inhibit the problem behaviors Promoting behaviors you want others to adopt Intervention – addressing the effects of the problem behaviors (violence) after it has occurred and preventing a reoccurrence of the problem behaviors Responding to the problem behavior Recognizing the problem behavior (Tertiary) Highlighting extent of the problem or where to receive services Slide Title: Prevention Vs. Intervention Module: Framing Main Concept: What is Prevention, continued Core Content: Differences between P & I, stopping violence before it occurs Trainer notes: At times today, we’ll talk about prevention vs. intervention but please don’t think of these as mutually exclusive. Talk about them sometimes in these terms because we are so embedded in approaching DV in terms of intervention that it is sometimes challenging to shift our thinking to prevention. So what’s the difference? Core Exercises: Index Card/Prevention Intervention Activity
