Given information from sources such as program designers web site, program curriculum materials, experts, and research-based materials, participants will analyze information and identify outcomes as designed by program creator and experts and theorized in research with 100% accuracy.

Today we shift over to OUTCOMES

Definition: Short- term, intermediate, and long-term changes in knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors The measurable effects that a program is intended to produce.

as designed by program creator and experts and theorized in research expected by program implementers (using interviews) expected by key stakeholders (using surveys) stated in grant applications

After-school tutors provide one- on-one assistance in reading that follows research-based best practices, is aligned with classroom instruction, and is tailored to specific, identified student needs based on diagnostic testing.

This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs ; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.

What is achieved? NOT what is provided – not services, activities, instruction – these are inputs Watch out for confusing language – they might word inputs as outcomes and vice versa Attitudes, abilities, performance, knowledge, skills

Students who participate in after-school tutoring sessions will: improve on the standardized assessment receive good classroom grade in reading

Each student who participates in at least 80% of assigned after-school tutoring sessions by the end of the first year will: improve by 25 points on the standardized assessment receive classroom grade of at least a B in reading

Look for: Who – exactly (all?) What – measurable? When – timeline? How much? Growth vs. standard?

GPRA measure 1.1: The percentage of elementary 21st Century regular program participants whose mathematics grades improved from fall to spring.

Use the sources for your program you used for inputs, such as program designers web site, program curriculum materials, experts, and research-based materials (electronic versions make searching easier!) Analyze text to identify outcomes - Short-term, intermediate, and long-term changes in knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors; the measurable effects that a program is intended to produce. Start to capture the outcomes in your logic model diagram

(1) Continue class activity with further resources on your list and post the results to Kazoo or Facebook.KazooFacebook (2) In your journal, reflect on the extent of agreement or disagreement about outcomes across the resources and share your reflections in the discussion on Kazoo or Facebook.KazooFacebook

Lesson 8: Identifying Expected Outcomes from Program Implementers Monday, August 10 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. 8 th floor CR4 Objective: Given notes from interviews with program implementers, participants will analyze findings and identify expected outcomes with 100% accuracy. After Mondays class, conduct at least one phone or face-to- face interview using questions and techniques developed in class.
