Did you just roll your eyes and utter a moan at the sight of “logic model?” You won’t after attending this workshop! Whether you’ve done a logic model in the past or are feeling the pressure to try one for the first time, this workshop will provide a friendly environment for discussing & defining just what it is that you do each day in your OST program so you’ll be ready to put together the pieces of your logic model and set the foundation for your program evaluation.
The workshop will be facilitated by Jennifer Engel from Sarah Heinz House, Chair of the APOST Professional Development Committee and Pilot Participant of the Toolbox project.
