and inputs Evaluation tool used to measure indicators Compilation of that data (Based on what you
are collecting, how do you know you’ve achieved the outcome?)

Performance Measurement includes answering the following ?s:
What are the planned activities, outputs, and intended outcomes?
Does the program achieve its planned activities and outputs?
Does the program achieve its intended outcomes and results?

What’s the difference?
Activity: Use CCR&R database to link families with providers appropriate to family needs
Output: 256 families received referrals in the month of May. 97% of clients received between 5 and 10 child care options. (database)
Outcome: Increased knowledge of child care options that meet family needs
Indicator: 75% of parents responding to the follow up survey report an increase in knowledge of child care options that meet their needs (survey)

What is an outcome?
Answer this question:
What is it you want to happen to clients who call your referral line?
Writing outcomes may be easier than you think.
![Page 13: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Outcomes are the program’s results for people & communities
Contribute to the achievement of longer term goals
Describe a desired state of knowledge, attitude, skills, behaviors, or circumstances
Outcomes are observable, measurable, and achievable

Writing Outcomes Key Activity: Providing clients with written material and consultation about the differences between regulated and non-regulated child care.
1) Identify the target group
2) What is the action verb?
3) What is the result
1) Parents who call the referral line
2) Increase
3) An understanding of the difference between regulated and non-regulated care
![Page 19: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Combine the 3 to make a statement
After consultation with a referral counselor, parents will have increased knowledge of the difference between regulated and non-regulated care.
Does this statement…
Identify the target group? Identify the desired change in knowledge? Is it specific?
![Page 20: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Key Activity: Provide information about quality indicators to each client
What is the intended outcome?
To write the outcome statement…
1) Identify the target audience
2) What is the action word
3) What is the desired result?
![Page 21: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Now you try
Think of a key activity you engage in on a daily basis
Identify the target group impacted by this activity
What is the action verb?
What is the result?
Combine the 3 to make an outcome statement
![Page 22: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

A common error
The confusion between
– Outcomes
– Activities
![Page 23: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
The difference…
OutcomeIncreased knowledge of child care options that meet family needs
ActivityUse CCR&R database to link families with providers appropriate to family needs
![Page 24: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
An outcome might have multiple activities associated with it.
For instance, what activities do we engage in to….
Increase parents’ understanding of quality child care characteristics
![Page 25: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Another common error
The difference between
– Outcomes
– Outputs
![Page 26: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
The difference
OutcomeIncreased knowledge of the characteristics of high quality child care
OutputVolume: Number of families who received written materials describing characteristics of high quality child careQuality: Parent satisfaction with consultations and educational materials about quality child care characteristics
![Page 27: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Another example
OutcomeIncreased knowledge of child care options that meet family needs
OutputVolume: Number of families who received child care referralsQuality: Accuracy of referrals received by families
![Page 28: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Assessing outcomes
Increased family knowledge of child care options that meet family needs
Does the outcome state who will change? Does the outcome state the nature of the change or benefit due to
contact with the CCR&R? Is it measurable? Is it specific and can it be clearly understood? Is it realistic and feasible? Is it something the CCR&R can control?
![Page 29: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
How about this one?
100% of families contacting the CCR&R for referrals will receive written materials describing characteristics of high quality child care
Does the outcome state who will change? Does the outcome state the nature of the change or benefit due to
contact with the CCR&R? Is it measurable? Is it specific and can it be clearly understood? Is it realistic and feasible? Is it something the CCR&R can control?
![Page 30: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Remember Outcomes…
Focus on the program’s results for families Describe a desired state of knowledge,
attitude, skills, behaviors, or circumstances Are observable, measurable, and achievable Should be written in an active way: increase,
decrease, maintain
![Page 31: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Implement these strategies to avoid common errors
Understand terminology– Areas of particular confusion outcomes vs. activities;
outcomes vs. outputs; indicators vs. outputs Start with a logic model
– What do you want to accomplish? (outcome)– How will you know if it has happened? (indicator)
Proceed realistically Choose outcomes that are realistically achievable and
measurable
![Page 32: 1 A QTS Web Training Writing Consumer Education & Referral Outcomes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe71a28abf838cb5c71/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
What we wanted to do
Review expectations of 2.B.1.c and 2.C.1.a
Practice identifying and writing outcome statements
Answer your questions
