7. MEPRI ROLE MEPRI ROLE:  To provide technical assistance to awardees in implementing their projects and conducting the overall evaluation. SESSION GOAL:  Our experiences have taught us that Logic Models provides a framework for the planning process. Use of the Logic Model has no bearing on the selection process or selection of schools for the Title II D – Initiative 2 - RFP

8. Logic Model What is a logic model? A framework that guides an evaluation, and/or maps out logical and causal connections between means and ends Means Ends Needs and Pre-conditions Educational Activities Desired Educational Outcomes

10. Example: Generic MEPRI Logic Model Teachers’: Tech. knowledge and skills Content knowledge Efficacy beliefs Background & experience Teacher PD: Content specific Ongoing support from MEPRI School – based: Adoption of tech. principles Teachers’: Tech. integration skills Instructional & pedagogical skills using tech. Efficacy beliefs Greater school wide awareness & use of tech. Students’ achievement increases Context Pre treatment Process Process Outcomes Outcome Achievement Outcomes Intervention

11. Example: Logic Model for improving students Algebra I achievement Context Teachers currently use paper common assessments; Very formal discussions of results; All Freshman take Alg. I; Daily Alg. I is in place for students who need it Intervention/ Activities Electronic formative assessments (using Moodle); Noteshare for journaling; Conversation around instruction; Pam Buffington come in to help with finding what technology is available for math assessment; Allowing time for teachers to learn how to do this Process Outcomes Teachers learn to access and examine student data; Use the data to adjust instruction Professional dialogue and reflection about data Adapt instruction Achievement Outcomes Improve students Alg. I achievement
