Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: The Flex Program Logic Model Project


1
The Flex Program Logic Model Project
  • National Flex Program Meeting
  • June 15-17, 2004
  • Chicago, Ill

2
Flex PLM Team
  • University of Southern Maine Andy Coburn, John
    Gale, and Stephenie Loux
  • University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
  • Becky Slifkin and Stephanie Poley
  • University of Minnesota Walt Gregg

3
Goals
  • Design a framework for understanding and
    describing Flex program activities,
    accomplishments, and impact.
  • Develop and test strategic planning tools to
    assist states in the continuing development of
    their Flex Programs.
  • Work with states and ORHP to identify potential
    Flex Program performance indicators.

4
Approach
  • Develop PLM framework
  • Work with 4 pilot states (Pennsylvania,
    Wisconsin, Arkansas, Washington), TASC and Flex
    Committee of NOSORH to design and assess PLM
    approach.
  • 2. PLM/strategic planning toolkit
  • Work with TASC to design and test toolkit.
  • Develop TA strategy.

5
What are Program Logic Models (PLMs)?
  • PLMs are used in program planning, management and
    evaluation to
  • Understand how program resources are used to
    implement key strategies and activities, and
  • How their implementation contributes to expected
    outputs and short and long term outcomes.

6
Components of a PLM
7
Developing a PLM
  • Verifying and clarifying Program strategies,
    activities, and resources
  • Specifying intended outcomes for each core goal
    and associated strategies/components
  • Clarifying the problems/issues on which Program
    components are based, underlying Program
    assumptions, and external environmental factors.

8
Challenges
  • PLMs a tool for strategic planning and/or
    evaluation?
  • Year to year framework of the Flex program limits
    longer range program planning
  • Complexity of designing indicators that capture
    implementation, behavior/performance change, and
    impact - short and longer term
  • Designing performance indicators appropriate to
    the scope and scale of the Flex Program (e.g. To
    what extent can/should we specify longer term
    outcomes?)

9
Progress and Plans
  • Conducted 3 of 4 state visits-finalizing state
    PLMs with states
  • Work with pilot states, TASC and NOSORH Flex
    Committee to assess PLM framework and assess
    indicators and measures
  • Develop report Using Program Logic Models for
    Strategic Planning and Evaluation in Flex
    Program
