What is a logic model? Where can I get more information about designing a logic model?
A logic model is a diagram that illustrates the rationale behind your program. It graphically displays how program resources and activities lead to outputs and outcomes. In other words, a logic model shows the relationships between the resources you invest, the activities you carry out, the outputs you produce or deliver, and the benefits or outcomes you expect. There are many ways to design a logic model. To see a sample logic model and template used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, go to: http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/education/evaluation/logic.pdf. For more information on developing logic models, go to “My Environmental Education Evaluation Resource Assistance” web site at: http://meera.snre.umich.edu/plan-an-evaluation/plonearticlemultipage.2007-10-30.4643560864/step-2-clarify-program-logic.
