Read the excerpts from the Kellogg Foundation’s “Logic Model Development Guide,” answering the
What, Why, and How questions as you go. (This will also involve examining the sample templates.)
Complete the sample logic model outlines on the last page of this packet.
Your work will be assessed using the following rubric:
