For this assignment, you will be using a Theory of Change model to help further plan your intervention. A Theory of Change model provides a road map of the inputs, activities, outcomes, and goals of an intervention.
In this assignment, you will outline the internal and external stakeholders, the activities each stakeholder will partake in, and the short-term and long term goals of the intervention. Use the Theory of Change Template [PPTX] Download Theory of Change Template [PPTX]to complete your submission for this assignment. Note: Please delete the explanatory text from the template before turning in your assignment. The explanatory text is there to help guide you through the process of creating your own Theory of Change model, but should not be included in what you turn in. A clear Theory of Change (ToC) model connects inputs to activities to outputs in a way that someone viewing the model can easily interpret. Another way to think of this is, you want to ensure that any of your stakeholders could pick up your ToC and understand their role and how they would impact the any inputs, activities, and outcomes of the intervention. As you are working on your assignment, be sure your ToC is comprehensive and includes: Resources/inputs (organizational plan). Activities (stakeholder/participants actions). Goal. Measures of success. Outputs. Outcomes. Impact. Your assignment submission will be assessed on: Identify the internal and external stakeholders needed for the intervention to be successful. As you are identifying potential stakeholders ask yourself: Why is this stakeholder group important to the success of the intervention? Identify the resources and any other funding needed for the intervention to be successful. As you are identifying any needed resources or funding, ask yourself: How will this resource or funding be used during the intervention or project? Where will this resource or funding come from? Outline the activities that each stakeholder group will participate in. As you are outlining the activities ask yourself: What is the evidence-based support for this activity? What will be the stakeholder group(s) role in the activity? Why is this activity important to the success of your intervention or project? Explain the overall goal of your intervention or project. Is the goal in SMART format? Outline measures of success for your intervention or project. Are the measures in SMART format? What is your rationale for targeting these measures of success? Present two program specific outcomes for your intervention or project. How will these outcomes demonstrate the success of the intervention or project? How do these outcomes align with your measures of success? Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.
