To provide technical assistance to awardees in implementing their projects and conducting the overall evaluation.
• SESSION GOAL: Our experiences have taught us that Logic Models provides a
framework for the planning process.
Use of the Logic Model has no bearing on the selection process or selection of schools for the Title
II D – Initiative 2 - RFP

Achievement OutcomesIntervention
Example: Logic Model for improving students Algebra I achievement
Context• Teachers currently use paper common assessments;• Very formal discussions of results;• All Freshman take Alg. I; • Daily Alg. I is in place for students who need it
Intervention/ Activities•Electronic formative assessments (using Moodle);• Noteshare for journaling;• Conversation around instruction;• Pam Buffington come in to help with finding what technology is available for math assessment;• Allowing time for teachers to learn how to do this
Process Outcomes• Teachers learn to access and examine student data;• Use the data to adjust instruction
• Professional dialogue and reflection about data• Adapt instruction
Achievement Outcomes • Improve students Alg. I achievement
