A way to approach logic models The mission of (my program or project) Is to produce/provide (activities/products) To/for (target audience) So that they (short term outcomes/learning) And will be able to (mid term outcomes/application) Resulting ultimately in (long term outcomes or change to the issue)
UDairy Creamery: From the Cow to the Cone The mission of the UDairy Creamery internship program Is to provide hands on internship experiences To undergraduate students So that they learn valuable agri-business skills And will be able to apply them to careers upon graduation Resulting ultimately in a workforce that understands the process of producing food from the farm to the consumer.
Determining Indicators • How will you know if the results/outcomes have been achieved? • With what evidence? • SMART indicators • Specific • Measurable • Audience-directed • Realistic • Time-bound
