Planning+Professional+Development

Planning a quality Professional Development Program is a necessity for successful staff development. Once you have established the need, the program and the events should be determined. Using a Theory of Change model and then a Logic Model is quite helpful in determining your course.

Theory of Change - a model used to plan your program by listing the activities (steps) needed to reach your final goal.

Logic Model - a flow chart used to plan your program. It will include the activities listed in the Theory of Change, and these other critical components - inputs and assumptions, intial outcomes, intermediate outcomes and results/ultimate goals.
