10.04 - Formalizing Logic Models

In today's class, we took a look at a logic model that was developed and is being used by a professional group (The Pittsfield, NH school district). Everyone was asked to look at the logic model and note strengths of this logic model that project teams could incorporate into their logic models to help them be more fully developed.

Some differences that people in the class noted were:

It's to the point.
Specific/precise language is used.
There is a specific timeline regarding when things will be done.
They use percentages to describe goals.
They have identified multiple goals.
Different outcomes are connected to each goal.

Working in their project teams, everyone then had the rest of the period to type their logic models formally in Google Drive. While formalizing the logic models, groups were also making changes to make language, goals, and outcomes more specific. Documents were shared amongst team members on Google Drive so everyone could edit together. I was on hand to answer questions and displayed definitions of each step of the logic model to help focus discussions.
