TA for Developing Your Logic Model: Peak Parent Center ~ PTAC

Brought to you by Barbara Buswell Beth Schaffner Jacey Tramutt Susan Moore

Agenda

Call #2: 10/24/2011~ Review and Discussion of Your Draft Draft #2: Send Final Draft 2 by 11/10/2011 Call #3: 11/14/2011~ Refinement with Alignment to Goals and Evaluation Planning

First Chat Zone

What worked for you as you developed your logic model? What was hard or frustrating?

Activity Sheet

Did you try it? Lets check in about LT Outcomes What about short term and medium term outcomes? Lets use listing of activities to determine overall goals for this project

CALL # 2 ~ Review Outcomes ~ Use your handouts

Activities: 1.Identify Long Term: Review RFAWhat does it say? 2.Identify Short term/ Learner Outcomes 3.Identify Medium Term/ Action Outcomes 4.Check your workSMART Outcomes? 5. List all activitiesGroup and identify goals to use in narrative

AgainWhat is your RFA saying?

WHO

This priority supports Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs) in the areas to be served by the centers that will: provide parents of children with disabilities, including lowincome parents, parents of limited English proficient children, and parents with disabilities, with the training and information they need to enable them to participate cooperatively and effectively in helping their children with disabilities to (a) Meet developmental and functional goals, and challenging academic achievement goals that have been established for all children; and (b) Be prepared to lead productive, independent adult lives, to the maximum extent possible.
OutcomesL LT

What

Long Term Outcomes

What did you identify from RFA? Is this what you are working toward as a PTI?

Logic Models RFP D 9&10

(a) A

logic model that depicts, at a minimum, the goals, activities, outputs, and outcomes of the proposed project. A logic model communicates how a project will achieve its outcomes and provides a framework for both the formative and summative evaluations of the project;

PTIshort termmedium term systemic change

If
Collaborators Increased Knowledge Skills Use

Then
Results are improved for children and families

Parent Education & Support

State PTI

The underlying logic of the model is that for results to improve for children and families, practice needs to be research-based, of high quality and appropriate

When Defining Outcomes, Think

Alignment Logical Sequence and Realistic Time Frame Short term, Interim, Long term

Short-term outcomes: Interim outcomes: Long-term outcomes: What doe RFA tell you?

Stay tuned inCheck your Outcomes

Make Outcomes SMART While goals express the big-picture vision for what you hope to accomplish, outcomes should be: Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Timed. The smarter your outcomes are, the easier it will be to manage performance and assess progress along the way.transparency

 Outcomes Check
Is each outcome truly an outcome ? Are the outcomes written as change statements? Will learning actions increase, decrease or stay the same? Are the outcomes linked as progressive steps towards a long-term goal? Are the outcomes meaningful and relevant? Are the outcomes realistic and attainable? _________________________________________

Activities and goals

List all the activities you will do on the project Group activities into comprehensive goals you can use in your narrative that align with purpose of project ( e.g. Disseminate TrainCollaborate etc) Align participants with three or four major goals in logic model columns

Chat Zone: Review of questions ?

Go to chat zone and let us know what works for you and further questions so you can refine and submit another draft Remember to refine and then submit for another review by 11/10/2011
