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. We do stuff. Good things happen.

7. ABC If Then

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

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
