2. Here are all of the different logic model slides we used, including a blank one

3. A USEFUL TOOL IN MAPPING OUT A PROGRAM IS A “PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL (SEE ONLINE READINGS. WEEK 1) PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL IF YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFY ALL OF THESE, THEN THE PROGRAM CAN BE EVALUATED. This should be used to see if there actually is a ‘functional’ program. PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL INPUTS OBJECTIVESACTIVITIESOUTPUTSOUTCOMESIndicators* All resources used and allocated for program. Staff, money, housing, packaged treatments etc. What specific results does the program hope to achieve. What are the anticipated consequences of the program. They must be behavioral, specific and measurable somehow. The more specific it is the more easily it is measured What was done within the program. How were the inputs used to produce outcomes? Program components, activities, services, interventions Products of a programs activities. What was produced by the program. (HOW MANY PEOPLE WENT THROUGH. HOW MANY DOES IT SERVE?) What was the condition of the outputs. To what degree were the objectives met. How was the problem(s) reduced by the program? How have the clients benefited? What were the ultimate effects of the program? Achievement of the program’s objectives. DATA!!! Often these are measurements of outcomes that are indirect. For example in a prevention program to reduce teen pregnancy, there is no way to adequately measure the number of girls who DON”T get pregnant. However, if there is a reduction in Risk factors such as lower truancy and better grades, these might be considered ‘indicators’ of success.

4. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL USED TO EVALUATE THE M.S.W. PROGRAM. NOTICE WHAT IS MISSING FROM THE M.S.W. PRGRAM LOGIC MODEL. WE MUST REVISE IT!!!! Division of S.W. PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL – SEVERELY FLAWED AND BAD EXAMPLE

Increased volunteer hours by men Increased funding Increased com. Aware Increased training of hum service grps. More accurate press coverage of dv Inc arrest # Men will be violence free at 24mths Men will continue work w/ msv Increase 3 sentencing & trials in court system More arrests by police More batterers programs like ours. Less focus in community on blaming women Increased understanding of wife- battering as dv in community Increased influence of shelters and anti- violence group in legislature

See the flaws. Not enough actibvities to accomplish objectives, no outcomes. This program is only interested in making money. THIS NARROW RANGE OF ACTIVITY IS INADEQUATE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES SOMETHING IN THE PROGRAM NEEDS TO CHANGE! WHAT? THIS PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL IS SIMILAR TO MANY “DV” PROGRAMS I HAVE SEEN. THESE PROGRAMS GREW WHEN PEOPLE REALIZED THEY COULD MAKE MONEY OFF OF BATTERERS. THAT IS WHY THEY ONLY DO GROUPS. BAD PROGRAM!

8. Here is an example of a program logic model completed by a previous student. The model is for a 16 week parenting skills program objectives inputsActivities Outputs Program outcomes indicators increase parenting skills Reduce parental complaints about child’s behavior Reduce ‘on site’ use of inappropriate parental responses to child in in vivo situations Increase self- esteem of child Reduction of schools based complaints to dfcs Reduce number of dfcs-observed poor parental responses – i.e. yelling, hitting, excdessive punishment observed at in home visits 7 parapro. Staff/teachers 2 msw’s gentle parents, great kids curric Workbooks 2 outreach workers Clear mission statement Measurable program objectives Pine hall Parent library One way mirror with ‘bug in the ear’ electronics Adequate facility $500k annual budget 16 week parent ed.

Tx. 2006 Significant increase on posttest ‘parent skills inventory” over pre-test 50% reduction in docuimented parental complaints during 16 week program. 100% reduction in inappropriate parental responses, using bug in the ear method. – as observed by trainers. Increase in child self- esteem as evidenced by increase on Zung child self-esteem scale at post-test, over pre-test. no complaints filed by school or reports to dfcs for one year after completion. No evidence of inappropriate parenting, based on followup home visit observation significant improvement in school grades Reduced truancy No dropouts No police reports No e.r. visits
