**Logic Model: Sustaining Interest of Children and Youth in School**

**1. Inputs:**

- Financial Resources: Funding allocated for program implementation, staff salaries, materials, and
resources.

- Human Resources: Qualified educators, administrators, counselors, and support staff dedicated to
implementing the program.

- Partnerships: Collaborations with community organizations, businesses, and parents to support

program goals.

- Curriculum and Materials: Developmentally appropriate curriculum, educational materials, and

resources tailored to student interests and needs.

**2. Activities:**

- Enrichment Programs: Offer extracurricular activities, clubs, and workshops focused on diverse
interests such as arts, sports, STEM, and leadership development.

- Student Support Services: Provide academic tutoring, counseling, mentorship, and social-emotional
learning programs to address individual student needs.

- Family and Community Engagement: Facilitate parent workshops, family events, and community
partnerships to involve families and community members in supporting student learning and
engagement.

- Professional Development: Conduct training sessions and workshops for educators to enhance their
capacity to support student engagement, motivation, and retention.

**3. Outputs:**

- Increased Participation: Higher rates of student involvement in extracurricular activities, clubs, and
workshops.

- Improved Attendance: Reduced rates of absenteeism and tardiness among students.

- Enhanced Academic Performance: Higher levels of academic achievement, reflected in grades, test
scores, and graduation rates.

- Strengthened Support Systems: Increased access to student support services, counseling, and
mentorship opportunities.

**4. Outcomes:**
 - Increased Interest in Learning: Greater enthusiasm and curiosity among students, leading to a deeper
engagement in academic subjects and activities.

- Improved School Connectedness: Stronger sense of belonging and connection to the school
community, fostering positive relationships with peers and adults.

- Enhanced Social and Emotional Well-being: Improved self-esteem, resilience, and social skills,
contributing to overall well-being and success in school and life.

- Reduced Dropout Rates: Lower rates of student attrition and increased likelihood of school
completion, leading to improved long-term outcomes and opportunities.

**5. Impact:**

- Long-Term Educational Attainment: Higher rates of high school graduation and post-secondary
education enrollment among program participants.

- Positive Community Influence: Strengthened relationships between schools, families, and

communities, leading to a supportive and collaborative learning environment.

- Lifelong Learning and Success: Equipped with essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes, students are
better prepared to pursue higher education, careers, and contribute positively to society.

**6. Assumptions:**

- Adequate Funding: Continued financial support is essential to sustain program activities and achieve
desired outcomes.

- Supportive Environment: A positive and inclusive school climate, as well as strong family and
community partnerships, are critical for program success.

- Quality Implementation: Effective program implementation, including well-trained staff and evidence-
based practices, is necessary to maximize impact.

**7. Risks and Mitigation Strategies:**

- Funding Constraints: Diversify funding sources, seek grants and donations, and advocate for
continued support from stakeholders.

- Staff Turnover: Provide ongoing professional development and support for staff to enhance job
satisfaction and retention.

- Lack of Family Engagement: Implement outreach strategies to involve families in program activities
and create a welcoming school environment.
**8. Evaluation:**

- Regularly assess program inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact through data collection,
analysis, and stakeholder feedback.

- Use evaluation findings to inform program improvement, resource allocation, and decision-making.

**9. Sustainability Plan:**

- Establish mechanisms for ongoing funding, partnerships, and stakeholder engagement to ensure the
long-term sustainability of the program.

- Document best practices, lessons learned, and success stories to demonstrate the value of the
program and attract continued support.

By following this logic model, stakeholders can effectively plan, implement, and evaluate initiatives
aimed at sustaining the interest of children and youth in school, ultimately leading to positive outcomes
for students and the broader community.

Pre and Post Evaluation

Concerns

1. Questions that the evaluation is supposed to answer.

- We want to know the difference, the change happened
- Look at the target of the program, na meet ba nila ilang need. How will you know that the
assessed needs are met?
- Are services adequately served to the targets? Paano na-deliver, paano na meet?
- The mechanism (management, operations) of the program
- Does the program meet the desired result or the desired impact of the program?
2. Methods and procedures
- Knowing how to obtain useful, timely, credible information
- What program evaluation design are you going to use
(quali, quanti, mixed method)
3. The relationship between the evaluator and the implementors
- Need to collaborate, coordinate with the stakeholders of the program
 o Policy makers, decision-makers
o Program sponsors – funders, may overlap with poly makers and decision-makers
Respondents include:
 Program implementors – managers, stakeholders, households, and other
units whoe received the services

Part I – Introductory Part

– what is the purpose of the program evaluations – Rationale, Introduction

It is initiated for many reasons, but the purpose of evaluation is not always simple. It should
include: Who wants it, what they want, and why they want it? One of the many reasons is Program
Improvement (optimizing program effectiveness), which is called formative evaluation.

- Program Accountability sometimes called

- Knowledge generation – workable or not – example: TARA, BASA!
- Hidden Purpose – delaying tactics, political maneuvering

Part II – Methodology

Structure to the evaluation – carefully planned, developed, crafted questions (Program Research
Evaluation’s recognizable types of questioning

1.

2. Assessment of Program Theory – The Theory of Change

- questions able program conceptaulaizable and design

3. Assessment of Program Process

- implementation, services delivery, (are we doing what we are supposed to do?)

4. Impact Assessment - Program Outcome

5. Efficiency Assessment – Program Cost

Formulation of Question

Unsay gusto nimo mahibaw-an?

What makes a good evaluation question?

- Reasonable and appropriate

o Examine the question in the context of the actual program activities
o Always search for related literature
 Example: Effects of livelihood program – relate this to social science social services
literature related to this.
- Questions should be answerable
o Identify evidence/observables that are credible that are the basis of an answer –
measurable performance that have unambiguous and non-controversial – madaling
again
 Example: Needs Assessment – nature and magnitude, what tare the needs
of the population,
 Theory of Change – what clients should be served, what services should be
provided, system delivery, how programs be organized, what resunrces are
necessary
 Paano mo itatanong the respondents?
