The Logic Model Guidebook
Why?
We wrote The Guidebook because people need a simple resource to understand the types, creation of, quality standards and uses for logic models. We also wanted to introduce quality criteria for models.
Unique Features
We cite two distinct types: theory of change and program logic models. We explain what they are, how they differ and what uses they have. Processes to create models are reviewed. The subtle and obvious issues of display and interpretation are covered. And, the “big kahuna:” model quality is considered at length. Quality matters because models allow us to map experiments, plans and ideas before we commit to them. Models can vary tremendously in quality. This variance often reflects the potential the program or effort represented has to achieve intended results.
Questions and resources at the end of every chapter make The Guidebook is perfect for self-study, book circles, and coursework. Logic models can become standard practice in your organization.
