McDavids et al. (2019) discussion is about Program Logic Models. Program Logic Models are visual representations of programs or initiatives. The typical components may or may not identify program objectives, but it should definitely include inputs, program components or activities, program outputs, and some combination of short, mid and/or long-term goals. In your placement, this framework will help you to understand how a policy, program, or initiative is designed or functions.
Identify a policy, program, or initiative at your placement site. Work collaboratively with your supervisor to identify areas where a program evaluation would be useful to them. This will ultimately be the cornerstone of your program evaluation project this semester.
Then, develop a Program Logic Model for that policy, program, or initiative.
