Intro Evaluation theory is a broad term, there are many different theories and models to follow in an evaluation. An evaluator can pick any when doing an evaluation, however each as a ground framework they start with. That starting theory can show up when they first begin an evaluation. However the evaluation determines the theory used to best address the problem or program being evaluated. I interviewed an evaluator, Person A, who explained that every evaluation and assessment is unique, so her
Everything You Wanted to Know About Logic Models But Were Afraid to Ask This paper addresses situations where a private foundation designs an initiative and awards grants to a number of sites to participate in the initiative in their local setting. The basic ideas are applicable to other situations. What is a Logic Model? The term "logic model" comes from the evaluation field, but these models don’t just belong to evaluators or the evaluation plan. As the term suggests, they are a basic

referrals for the patient on to the agencies that will be providing the services. The next stage in the logic model is outputs. In case management this would be the patients receiving the services we helped them sign up for. To make sure that this happens the interns have to call places that they have faxed the patient’s information to, to see if and when they will be accepted into that program. If they will not be accepted the student needs to bring the patient back in and find a different solution
Adaptation of Taylor-Powell Logic Model (1999) (McCawley, 2002) The Logic Model is a visual model or tool, which is drawn from the basic structure of David Easton’s System Theory, used in describing the underlying concept of an object under study. Used by program evaluators and managers in assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of a specific program used for almost twenty years, the Logic Model involves on giving descriptions regarding the relationship of the inputs, program resources, outputs, and
Site Director to create a logic model that provides a simplified picture of the relationships between the program (resources, policy inputs, activities) and the desired outcomes of the program. According to logic model toolkit created by The Regional Educational Laboratory‐Northeast And Islands, “Logic models present a theory of action or change that drives the program or policy, and makes explicit any assumptions about both the resources at the disposal of the program as well as the rationale behind
evaluation basically relies on professional expertise to judge the quality of an institution, program, product or activity. For example a teacher training program could be assessed by experts from different fields including instructional material, pedagogy, educational administration and leadership. Professional evaluators would observe the program in action and examine its theory and material, interview program staff, and interview the beneficiaries to come out with a decision based on his examination
evaluation is the process of objectively understanding how a policy was implemented and what effects did it have, for whom, how and why. There is a wide range of evaluation options available, however, each needs to be tailored to the type of policy, program or intervention or delivery of service considered. Brownson, Chriqui and Stamatakis (2009) explain that evaluation of public health policies can take the form of three primary types: process evaluation, which aims to understand approaches to enhance
Evaluating complex interventions is a considerable challenge, especially when dealing with programs anchored in an ecological approach to health behavior change (Deschesnes, Martin, & Hill, 2003). In fact, very little is known about how best to implement a comprehensive and complex approach to physical activity policy (Ogilvie et al., 2010; Sallis, Story, & Lou, 2009). Therefore, a process evaluation using program theory was conducted to gain a better understanding of the factors that could influence the

Based on your review of the presentation and Chapter 2 of the textbook, discuss at least five different important program characteristics that must be considered when designing a program evaluation. The Broward Partnership for the Homeless, Inc program evaluation that fits the need for people in many areas of their lives. This program consists of 5 important characteristics in their design
