  6. TERMS & DEFINITIONS Logic Model • An agreed upon path that links inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes in a logical fashion. • A breakdown of the program “theory” into pieces – inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes. • A diagram for explaining why we think our programs will have a positive effect on a person or group of people. Outcome Measurement Basics

  7. TERMS & DEFINITIONS Inputs • Resources dedicated to or consumed by the program(s) within an agency and constraints on the agency • Financial Resources • Staff Skills • Funder Requirements Activities • What the agency does with the inputs to fulfill its mission – the program services • Feed and shelter homeless families • Discuss problems and barriers to employment Outputs The direct products of agency services – the results of the process • Number of classes taught • Number of disabled children in program Outcome Measurement Basics

  8. TERMS & DEFINITIONS Outcomes Benefits or changes to individuals or populations during or after participating in agency activities • Programs often seek to change or improve: • Attitude • Skills • Behavior • Condition Outcome Measurement Basics

  12. TERMS & DEFINITIONS Indicators The specific information that track a program’s success. It’s how you know something changed Traits of an Effective Indicator • Measurable • Meaningful • Manageable • Clear • As unbiased as possible • Sensitive to Change • Acceptable to Stakeholders Outcome Measurement Basics

  13. SAMPLE INDICATORS Outcome Measurement Basics

  14. HOW DO WE MEASURE IMPACT/OUTCOMES/RESULTS Outcome-driven grant-making means focusing more on results that program participants achieve. Instead of focusing only on how much did a program do (touches) the focus on whether anyone is better off (outcomes)? 1. What did we do?(Quantity) 2. How well did we do it?(Quality) 3. Who is better off?(Impact/Outcomes)

  15. MATRIX Quality Quantity How much did we do? How well did we do it? What difference did we make? Effect Effort

  16. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY BETTER OFF ? 1.Behaviors(#/% of participants who report to work on time) • Attitudes (Opinions)(#/% of participants who value seeking a degree) • Circumstances(#/% of participants who have a job at program completion) • Knowledge/Skills(#/% of individuals who have job increased skills) BACKS

  17. HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS? Quality Quantity How much did we do? a.k.a. How well did we do it? What difference did we make? a.k.a. outcome Impact Long term indicators Effect Effort
