GROUP ASSIGNMENT # 1 - 10%

LOGIC MODEL

DUE: November 01, 2020 at 11 PM, CST

 

Description: Student-colleagues will develop an actual model for a program that is operational in one of your group members’ internship placement or place of employment (The program should be a social work relevant program).

 

1. Using a template provided by the instructor, develop a one-page logic model; that is, a diagram that explains how a social service program theoretically should work to achieve desired outcomes for participants (See Royse, Thyer, & Padgett, 2016, pp. 108-112).

 

2. Prepare a 2-page paper to accompany the logic model. The first page should provide organization and program background, and interpretation of the logic model that describes the connection to elements of the logic model. The second page should provide an informal, first-person, account that describes how the assignment was tackled, challenges encountered, and lesson learned in the process.

 

Assignment Specifics :

Using the attached template, with your group, develop a logic model for the program/strategy that you have chosen. Required elements of the logic model are:

· Inputs (resources and/or barriers)

· Activities

· Outputs

· Short-Term Outcomes

· Long-Term Outcomes (referred to in the Kellogg logic model guide as “Impact”)

 

I would encourage you strongly to read and understand the Kellogg logic model development guide (particularly chapters 1 and 2) before beginning work on your logic model. The discussion on page 8 is particularly useful, as it is easy to misunderstand what outputs are vis-à-vis outcomes (and sometimes activities). I am providing a video where I explain the various elements of the logic model, and another one where I walk through mock logic model for you to review and consider as you begin working on your own logic models. I recommend you review these videos, as well.

Though Kellogg gives you a rule of thumb, there is no firm rule about how you will determine what is a short- vs. a long-term outcome, apart from the fact that short-term outcomes should precede longer-term outcomes. This may vary quite a bit depending on the nature of a program. But the long-term outcomes should include “ultimate” outcomes that you hope may be affected by the program of interest. Other types of outcomes may be included here, however (as with the mock example on a bakery).

Though the template should simplify your efforts, you may modify the formatting using different fonts or other formatting options if you think it will help to make a more effective or compelling logic model. You could even submit this in another format, such as PDF or PowerPoint. But I should be able to easily interpret your logic model, and the core elements and structure of the model should stick to the template example.
