Last Saturday members of our steering committee and representatives of the NH2020 dialogue groups met at the New Haven Main Library for an Evaluation Workshop organized by Everyday Democracy. After we learned about Logic Models and how to define an outcome and indicator, the teams introduced their Mini-Action-Plans to the group. We then reviewed every action plan individually and the teams worked in groups on refining them.
A logic model can best be described as a road-map for your project, which breaks down your vision into do-able action items and ties them to measurable outcomes and indicators - in other words, it helps you answer the question: 'How do we know that we have been successful?' It's a great tool to help you break your vision down to concrete actions and define concrete and observable outcomes. If you are interested in logic models, we want to share some links with you where you can find lots of resources on evaluation and measuring success of your initiative or group:
Evaluation Tools for Racial Equity
Racial Equity Tools
Innovation Network
Everyday Democracy
It was a great and very productive workshop and there are some great ideas coming out of our teams. If you want to learn more about us, meet our action teams and their projects, and become involved, we encourage you to come to our "Celebration of Phase I" event, which will take place within the next few weeks.
