Assignment 4: Program Evaluation Plan (Marked out of 15 - Worth 15% of final grade)

Due: November 18

Using your Program Logic Model from Assignment 3, create an outcome measurement plan that includes:

• Indicators for the outcomes determined in your program logic model (Assignment #3). Each outcome should have at least one indicator. If it is not feasible for the program to measure an outcome (i.e., the outcome will occur far into the future), please provide a rationale explaining this.
• The data collection method that will be used to measure the indicator (i.e., observation)
• The frequency that the indicator will be measured (i.e., quarterly)
• The position that will be responsible for measuring the indicator (i.e., the program manager).

The template for the outcome measurement plan will be provided by your instructor.

All components of the evaluation plan are complete. The information presented demonstrates a clear understanding of the data required to evaluate the program.

All components of the evaluation plan are complete. The information presented demonstrates a basic understanding of the data required to evaluate the program.

Some components of the evaluation plan are present. The information presented demonstrates a negligible understanding of the data required to evaluate the program.

Unsatisfactory is a special category. It is not an indicator of quality. It is assigned to responses that are off topic, do not contain a discernible attempt to address the task, or that are too brief to assess in any scoring category.

Correct Presentation of Components

Each outcome has at least one clear indicator that utilizes the SMART method. The frequency of measurement aligns with the indicator. The position responsible is specific and logical and responsibility is shared between positions.

Each outcome has at least one clear indicator and mostly utilizes the SMART method. The frequency of measurement mostly aligns with the indicator. The position responsible is clearly noted and responsibility is shared between positions.

Each outcome has at least one clear indicator that somewhat utilizes the SMART method. The frequency of measurement somewhat aligns with the indicator. The position responsible is very general and mostly relies on one or two positions.

Some outcomes have at least one indicator but it is difficult to see use of the SMART method. The frequency of measurement does not align with the indicator. More consideration of the position responsible for data collection is required. Responsibility should be shared between positions.

Unsatisfactory is a special category. It is not an indicator of quality. It is assigned to responses that are off topic, do not contain a discernible attempt to address the task, or that are too brief to assess in any scoring category

Communication

Writing is fluent and purposefully organized. Vocabulary is precise. The writing demonstrates superb use of sentence construction, grammar, and mechanics. Errors, if present, are inconsequential

Writing is logical and clearly organized. Vocabulary is specific. The writing frequently demonstrates effective use of sentence construction, grammar, and mechanics. Errors do not detract from communication.

Writing is generally clear and functionally organized. Vocabulary is adequate. The writing demonstrates basic use of sentence construction, grammar, and mechanics. Errors do not seriously interfere with communication.

Writing is unclear and disorganized. Vocabulary is ineffective and frequently incorrect. A lack of effective sentence construction, grammar, and mechanics is demonstrated. Errors impede communication.

Unsatisfactory is a special category. It is not an indicator of quality. It is assigned to responses that are off topic, do not contain a discernible attempt to address the task, or that are too brief to assess in any scoring category.

Use the template below to create your outcome measurement plan. An example is provided for you, to help you get started. Please delete this example when submitting your assignment.

Outcome	Indicator(s)	Data Collection Method	When will the data be collected?	Who will collect the data?
Clients will have opportunities for social inclusion	80% of clients report that they are engaged in an educational, recreational or social activity in their community of their choosing	Individual Interview	2 months post-treatment	Program Manager

ASSIGNMENT 3 - PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL

PROBLEM IS LACK OF AFFORDABILITY OF HOUSING FOR CALGARIANS

Inputs	Activities	Output	Short-term outcomes	Mid-term outcomes	Long-term outcomes
Community health workers	Community health workers collect all the data through the survey so that government should take action to overcome the problem. Health workers provide medical care services and education through health talks and educational workshops, and seminars. Health workers provide psychological support to reduce the stress of people.	All community members take active participation in the survey to collect correct data. Two hundred people attend the educational workshops, and seminars, and health talks. In addition, medical health care services are also provided to the people. People attend the psychological session and spend 5 hours on counseling.	The survey assesses data of the target population. Knowledge of clients is increased through health talks and seminars to prevent any mental and physical illness. Attitudes of clients changed due to psychological support.	The target population suffering from mental illness should know their conditions and make their decisions. Friends and family members of affected people should know about the seminars, and they can help affected people make decisions. Clients are motivated through a psychological session.	All data is collected through the survey to eliminate the problem of people by taking intense action through an organization. Clients also make essential decisions to overcome their problems and earn more money to fulfill their basic needs. Decreased mental illness and symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression are also eliminated through psychological support.
Board of directors, and managers of organizations,	Provide grants and funds at a low cost to the target population. Organize programs to provide education that they offer no-cost loans to clients. Build the new houses to overcome the problem and sell homes at relevant costs so that the target population can easily afford them.	Funds and grants are provided to 50 clients. More than 300 people attend the programs One hundred clients are served.	Clients gain knowledge about the funds and grants and their policies on applying for a loan. Clients become aware of the loans that the organization offers no-cost loans to the target population. Clients buy their houses from the organization.	Clients can make their own decision by taking funds and loans to buy homes. Clients become more conscious about the services and policies after attending the programs. Clients relief from stress and anxiety due to the construction of the new homes.	Clients maintain their income status and are recommended to buy new homes because of low-cost loans provided by the organization.
