10.23 - Logic Model Revealed: The American Care Act / Obama Care

We started today's class by addressing how with only one exception, project teams had failed to update their task schedules and contact logs. Teams had 15 minutes and access to two computers to update these two documents.

We then did a mixer activity to find partners for our next activity. Our activity was focused on looking at a program being implemented that seeks to effect positive change for a group of people. Our work will revolve around learning about the program and then use the language of logic models (resources/inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, impacts) to describe the work and effects of the program. This is an activity that we will be doing with a variety of programs (we already began this with our look at LACO's programming).

The program we are focusing on in our work today (and for the next couple of days) is the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obama Care). Today, we got all of the necessary papers and partners for the activity.

Having a partner will help since some of the documents are dense to work through and having someone to talk to them about will help. Everyone will be recording their own responses for this work.

All of today's documents are available in this folder: Logic Model Revealed: Obama Care


To help everyone understand some of the language around this law and how to properly sort piece of information into different steps of a logic model, we looked at the 100-word explanation of the law and sorted different parts of the explanation.

 Homework:

Work associated with your project team's work.

Finish updating the task schedule and contact log as appropriate.
