Learn how to build a simple logic model to clarify your program design and support evaluation planning.
Summary
This video introduces logic models as a practical tool to help CalVIP grantees clarify program design and prepare for evaluation. It walks through the core components of a simple logic model, including inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes, and provides guidance on keeping outcomes realistic and measurable. The video also explains how a clear logic model can support stronger evaluation planning and more consistent data collection over time.
