Pages 6-10 Section D — Program Outcomes and Activities Matrix (Not to exceed 3-4 outcomes. One matrix table per outcome. Each matrix not to exceed two (2) pages) Outcome: In general, a program should have 3-4 program outcomes. The Outcome indicates the measurable impact or change the program will have on the clients its serves. The outcome should detail the results of the services provided, not the services provided. Outcomes utilize action words such as maintain, increase, decrease, reduce, improve, raise and lower. Please incorporate the following into the outcome description: * Direction of change * Time frame * Area of change * As measured by * Target population * Degree of change * Baseline: the number you will be measuring against Example Outcome: To decrease (direction of change) number of unexcused absences (area of change) of enrolled boys and girls (target population) by 75% (degree of change) in one year (time frame) as reported by the 2014-15 School Board attendance records (as measured by). Baseline: 2014-15 School Board attendance records for enrolled boys and girls. Activities Matrix: The matrix is designed to identify specific activities the program will provide to achieve the stated outcomes. The matrix identifies: 1) the specific activity; 2) how often the service/activity is provided; 3) who, by position, is responsible to deliver the service/activity; and 4) expected change in client from providing service/activity. In addition, the matrix is designed to capture the evaluation of services provided: 5) indicator or measurement of change; 6) source of measurement; and 7) how frequently it is measured. A separate PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND ACTIVITIES MATRIX needs to be completed for each outcome; each matrix should not exceed two (2) pages. Use a separate row for each activity and group activities under their related outcomes. To add more rows, if needed, simply locate the cursor at the last cell in the last row and press the "TAB" button on the keyboard. See examples provided at the end of the instructions. IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind when developing PROGRAM OUTCOMES that, if funded, these will be what you are accountable to accomplish. Also, the PROGRAM OUTCOMES should reflect the information described in the PROGRAM NEED STATEMENT (B.1.) All PROGRAM NEED STATEMENTS should flow from the MISSION & VISION. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES should be based on and measure program needs. Activities are the tasks you do to influence the outcome and impact the unacceptable condition in your PROGRAM NEED STATEMENT. 4 115
