Workshop: Outcome mapping (modified from Outcome Mapping Learning Community)WorldFish
Outcome Mapping is a participatory method for planning, monitoring, and evaluating social change projects. It focuses on changes in the behaviors of those directly engaged by the project, known as boundary partners. The method recognizes that social change is complex, non-linear, and beyond any single actor's control. It aims to encourage iterative learning among partners. Key concepts include distinguishing between a project's sphere of influence and sphere of interest, and defining outcomes as changes in boundary partners' behaviors rather than ultimate impacts of social change.
Outcome Mapping is a planning, monitoring, and evaluation methodology focused on changes in behavior of social actors that a project works with, rather than direct attribution of impact. It views development as a complex process influenced by many interrelated factors and actors. The methodology focuses on outcomes as changes in behaviors, relationships, actions, and policies of boundary partners. It helps contribute to long-term impact through progress markers that track boundary partners' progress along three levels of change from early responses to deep transformation.

In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.

This document outlines a theoretical framework for place-based climate change engagement and summarizes research conducted with the Climate Change Education Partnership. It discusses using places that people are attached to as a starting point for meaningful dialogue about climate change. Research with over 4,000 visitors and 800 agency staff at national parks and refuges found high levels of place attachment but varied concerns about climate change. The research also identified opportunities to communicate local impacts and empower small actions.

Project RISE is a 4-year demonstration project between Arizona State University and the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections that focuses on developing a model for successful reentry of youth with disabilities back into their communities. It provides comprehensive transition services and continued support to youth ages 8-18 with IEPs returning to Maricopa County from secure care. Through extensive community collaboration, individualized case management, and personalized transition plans, Project RISE aims to decrease recidivism and increase graduation, employment, and post-secondary education rates among participating youth.
This document outlines CollaborateUp's approach to accelerating problem solving for complex issues. It describes the challenges of "problems in the commons" which have no clear owner and require adaptive leadership. The CollaborateUp formula brings together stakeholders using tools like the DataLab and PartnerLab to build shared understanding, generate new ideas, and develop partnerships. The goal is for participants to take commitments back to their organizations to marshal resources for experiments that produce verifiable outcomes.

This document summarizes the shift from traditional research to participatory research in Ethiopia. It describes how the researcher initially conducted trials on topics like calf growth and milk processing. However, this work did not ensure development impact. The researcher then began using participatory rural appraisal to jointly diagnose problems, which identified lack of food and water as the key issues. This led to forming collective action groups to support diversified livelihoods and education. Data shows these groups improved income, credit access, skills, and quality of life compared to controls. The researcher concludes participatory work requires more time and risks but leads to greater local impacts and sustainability.

This document summarizes a study on climate change adaptation planning actions in coastal New England. The study used interviews and surveys of local planners and officials to understand their perspectives. Key findings included the most and least preferred adaptation actions, the biggest barriers to planning, and what information and guidance are still needed to advance planning efforts. The study aims to better explain the steps communities take in adapting to climate change and identify motivations for practitioners moving forward.
Raising Awareness and Learning Practices of Citizens for Energy SavingsAndreas Kamilaris
Raising awareness about energy savings through social influence and feedback. The document discusses how awareness can be raised by focusing on the local level, using a project-based learning framework. Effective strategies include frequent feedback on energy usage, comparisons to historical usage and others', as well as social pressures like competitions and rankings. An online social energy project at NUS found that students responded best to comparisons, goal setting, and feedback on savings. Future work could personalize feedback strategies and better understand motivations for different groups.

This document summarizes a study that tested gender transformative and accommodative approaches to improving outcomes for women in the fishery value chain in Zambia. The study found that using drama and discussions to challenge gender norms (gender transformative) led to greater changes than a practical gender approach alone. Women exposed to the transformative approach significantly increased participation in fishing and decision-making power. Men also increasingly jointly owned assets with their wives. The study provides evidence that addressing unequal gender relations can empower women and improve food security more than practical approaches alone.

This document introduces a framework for creating institutional and community-level change to support foster youth. It discusses forming strategic alliances or coalitions to achieve common goals. Effective strategies require assessing community needs through data collection, then developing a strategic plan to address root causes and local conditions. The plan should identify problems, consequences, contributing factors and resources. It also outlines a process involving assessment, capacity building, planning, implementation, evaluation and sustainability. Coalitions aim to create broad, substantial and enduring change across institutions by addressing multiple interconnected issues.

Bioassessment Approach to MS4 Evaluation and AssessmentJPoore
Jesse Poore presented logic and background information that supports integration of stream bioassessments into MS4 evaluation and assessment procedures.
Australia is developing a national river health monitoring framework to standardize assessments across states. Trials of the Framework for Assessment of River and Wetland Health (FARWH) took place from 2005-2011. FARWH uses six indices - hydrology, physical form, catchment disturbance, fringing zone, aquatic biota, and water quality - to assess condition on a scale of 0 to 1. The trials found this approach was achievable but more work is needed to define reference conditions. A two-tiered assessment approach was proposed using broadscale desktop assessments followed by targeted field assessments. Five options were presented for national reporting ranging from the current jurisdictional approach to national reporting every 5 years with both broadscale and detailed field assessments
Bioindicators are organisms that can be used to monitor environmental health. Different types of bioindicators like plants, animals, and microbes indicate different types of pollution or environmental changes. Scientists observe changes in bioindicator populations to assess environmental conditions. This document provides examples of various bioindicator species and how they are used, including lichens for air quality, earthworms for soil toxicity, and diatoms for water acidity. It also outlines classifications of bioindicators and criteria for selecting effective bioindicator species.
The document provides an introduction to a research report that compares perspectives and measures of quality in early years education and care. It discusses three approaches to measuring quality that are examined in the research: Ofsted inspection reports, the Environment Rating Scales (ECERS and ITERS), and quality assurance schemes. The introduction outlines the background context on the importance of quality early years provision. It defines different stakeholders involved in improving quality, including parents, local authorities, early years providers, and central government. It then presents the research questions focusing on stakeholder perspectives of quality and the associations between the different quality measures. The structure of the report is outlined across seven chapters, with the remainder providing context on approaches to measuring quality, the research methodology,

This document provides an overview of Results Based Accountability (RBA), which consists of two parts: performance accountability and population accountability. Performance accountability focuses on the effectiveness of programs, agencies, and service systems in achieving results for their customer populations. Population accountability focuses on the well-being of whole populations within communities, cities, counties, states, and nations. The document defines key RBA terms and provides examples of results, indicators, and performance measures at both the population and performance levels. It also explains how population and performance accountability are linked to create alignment and appropriate responsibility across levels.
The South Carolina Early Childhood Quality Standards Task Force was charged with developing quality standards for early childhood programs serving children ages 0-4. In developing their recommendations, the Task Force gathered input from national experts, state program experts, stakeholders, and South Carolina citizens. Two overarching themes that emerged were that high-quality early childhood programs focus on nurturing relationships between teachers and children, and specialized training is important for early childhood providers. The Task Force's recommendations would establish a quality rating system, provide support and training for programs and practitioners, ensure accountability, and link funding to quality improvements. The recommendations were required to have an evidence base, be realistic, and address whether standards would be fully-funded or phased in.
Achieving Measurable Collective Impact with Results-Based Accountability - Co...Clear Impact
Achieving Measurable Collective Impact with Results-Based Accountability - Common Agenda
Partners from local, state and national initiatives are working together to understand how to meet the conditions of collective impact. Organizations often seek like-minded partners in order to reach common goals. Partnerships are formed. Meetings are held. But to what end? Stakeholders are convened from numerous programs aimed at support community well-being. These partnerships often find themselves continuing to focus on the outcomes for individuals, rather than on the collective impact of aligned partners throughout the community. Over time, meeting attendance falls and partners end up falling short of measurable results. What causes these well-intentioned efforts to flounder?
This workshop series will detail how partners and stakeholders can understand and implement the five conditions of collective impact by implementing the RBA framework. Each webinar will focus on a specific condition, allowing participants to have a deeper understanding of what it takes to practically apply RBA to meet that condition. The series will also include case studies that illustrate how partner organizations can align their efforts to achieve measurable community results with sustainable change. Participants are encouraged register for the full series, as each webinar will build upon the content from previous sessions.

The document discusses using the Community Healthy Living Index (CHLI) tool to assess neighborhoods. It describes how public health graduate students piloted the CHLI in a neighborhood near the University of Tennessee. Students recruited community members to complete the CHLI assessment over 2-3 hours. The assessment identified strengths like parks but also barriers like lack of sidewalks and crime that impact physical activity and nutrition. The results can help prioritize issues and inform policy changes to promote health.

Results of the Evaluation
The results of the evaluation of the School Success Program showed improvement in academics for children who were victims of maltreatment. This program recognized that there is a correlation between poor school performance of children who were maltreated. The School Success Program assists maltreated youth in school with tutoring and mentoring by certified teachers (Mallett, 2012). This program recognized that children who are maltreated have learning difficulties in school. Providing assistance to maltreated children with tutoring and mentoring increased their performance in school. “Program participants have shown one-year improvements that are significant when compared with those of their non maltreated peers: Basic reading and comprehension skills improved 58 percent; math reasoning and comprehension skills improved 50 percent; basic writing skills improved 48 percent; and overall academic skills improved 51 percent” (Mallett, 2012, p.13). These results were noted from both genders and with minorities, especially males.
Background Information and the Key Message
Background information that I would need to present to show that this program is successful and should be implemented elsewhere, is to show the results of identified maltreated children without intervention and to compare the results to maltreated children with interventions. I would show graphs and data to compare the results and the increased improvement of the interventions is significant. I could provide results of a single research study to show how the intervention improved academic performance which is significant. Also, using results of past research studies. Physical abuse and neglect have been shown to have negative results on school performance. Showing how the tutoring and mentoring program improved academic performance is significant.
Strategies to meet your Colleagues’ Interests and Goals
Strategies to meet my colleagues’ interests and goals would be to utilize surveys to learn about concerns that my colleagues may have about poor academic performance. If the goal is to reach this population early to produce better results in school performance, the program that is yielding strong results should be implemented.
Questions Colleagues Might Have and Possible Reactions
Questions colleagues might have about the program is how do we reach the intended population? How do we implement the program and maintaining the fidelity of the program that yields the intended results? What skills and trainings do the tutors and mentors need to possess. I would show that we will screen for poor academic progress and poor attendance to identify some. When we are aware that a children services agency is involved with certain children, they are enrolled automatically in the program. Ensure that tutors and mentors can be interns in education, working on their teaching degrees. I believe if their questions are answered during the presentatio ...
CSV NNVIA Measuring Impact of Volunteering event - Iona Joy - 27.03.15CSV_UK
Iona Joy, Head of charity team at NPC, presented on NPC's approach to measurement at the CSV conference in March 2015. NPC works at the nexus between charities and funders to increase the impact of both. NPC uses a four pillar approach to measuring impact that involves mapping a theory of change, prioritizing outcomes to measure, choosing an appropriate level of evidence, and selecting data sources and tools. An effective measurement framework is developed through this process to help charities strategically plan, deliver, assess, and review their impact.
This document outlines an innovative planning framework for building collective impact to prevent child maltreatment. Key elements include establishing shared outcomes and indicators across agencies, identifying promising new strategies, and assisting communities to tailor plans to local strengths and needs. Input from a statewide parent survey and focus groups found that parents want accessible, nonjudgmental support for their diverse needs from basic resources to parenting skills. The framework aims to strengthen collaboration, align current investments, engage new partners, and encourage communities to creatively address unique challenges through a flexible yet integrated approach.
This document discusses evidence-based practices for serving runaway and homeless youth. It notes that while rigorous experimental research is difficult due to ethical concerns, there are still ways for organizations to demonstrate program effectiveness. One organization, Larkin Street Youth Services, shifted from just collecting output data to meet funding requirements to developing a more evaluation-focused approach using logic models and outcome measurements. This allowed them to better understand program impacts, inform decision-making, and disseminate best practices. The presentation emphasizes that evidence-based does not just mean experimental research but also includes practice-based evidence and continuous monitoring and evaluation.
The Power of ABCD and Results-Based Accountability for Greater Impact and Res...Clear Impact
Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a place-based framework pioneered by John McKnight and Jody Kretzmann, founders of the ABCD Institute at Northwestern University.

It notes that funding will be based on the number of English learners, low-income students, and foster youth. Schools will be required to improve services for these student groups. Compliance changes include meeting standards in subject areas, testing, graduation rates, and access to courses. The timeline for the new Local Control Accountability Plans is provided. School counselors can help identify student needs and direct resources to support at-risk groups. Their involvement in professional development and using data to target these populations can help ensure funding goes toward improving student outcomes.

The document discusses tools and strategies for evaluating comprehensive community initiatives. It notes that outcomes can be difficult to measure due to their broad scope and influence of outside factors. A range of tools are presented on a continuum from simple surveys and anecdotes to more rigorous methods like randomized controlled trials. Measuring changes in places, people, community capacities and systems is discussed. Challenges include developing counterfactuals and dealing with shifting theories of change. The Annie E. Casey Foundation's work on community change initiatives like Making Connections is summarized, including measuring impacts, influences, leverage, and community capacities.

This document provides an overview of a policy development toolkit. It was created through collaboration between StriveTogether and PolicyLink to support local networks in developing and advancing equitable policies. The toolkit outlines a three-phase policy process: policy development, policy advocacy, and policy implementation. It emphasizes authentically engaging communities and emphasizes relationship building. The toolkit includes tools, worksheets, case studies and stories from communities doing policy work. It is intended to help organizations strengthen their understanding and impact of policy efforts.

7. Questions about Effectiveness
Questions for the Consultant
Are KICP shared programs effective?
Is KICP program administration efficient?
How can KICP improve water quality and
measure it?
8. Recommendations for Effectiveness
Update IGA and Bylaws
Reinforce watershed approach
Leverage brand awareness
“Keep it Clean”
Define priority pollutants and the behaviors
that generate them
Measure “Embraced Behavior”
9. Embraced Behavior Proposal
“Be the expert about the best practices.” ~
Greg Davis – EPA Region 8
“Benefits can be monetized for MEP.” ~ John
Sorensen, AMEC
“Put the “Point” back into Non-Point Source
pollution education.” ~ Jesse Poore, Felsburg
Holt & Ullevig
10. The Trouble with
“Effectiveness”
“I don’t care if my program is effective. I just
want to be in compliance.” ~ MS4 Operator
If MS4 Education and Outreach Programs are
supposed to accomplish “NPDES” (Pollutant
Discharge Elimination) …
Can we correlate Education to Water Quality?
11. The Trouble with
“Effectiveness”
“We are ‘flying blind’ or, probably, by the
seat of our pants, when it comes to making
decisions about how best to address water
quality problems and allocate our limited
resources for cleanup, pollution prevention
and restoration.” ~ G. Tracy Mehan, former
EPA Assistant Administrator
12. The Trouble with
“Effectiveness”
“Without assessing the effectiveness of the
stormwater management program the
permittee will not know which parts of the
program need to be modified to protect and/or
improve water quality and instead will
essentially be operating blindly.” EPA 2010
Permit Improvement Guide

“Effectiveness”

15. The Trouble with
“Effectiveness”
MRSWMP - Co-permittees, evaluation
structure provided, benchmarks defined
KPCRC - State campaign, local economics,
focus on observing behavior
LCSC - University facilitated education, local
input, targets for audience and pollutants
16. The Trouble with
“Effectiveness”
Literature Research
2001 Study of Six California MS4 Costs
2010 Tracked KICP Expenditures
Category Average KICP
Budget $2.5 Million $1.7 Million
Management $375,000 $362,000
Education $120,000 $48,500
Proportion 4.0% 2.9%
Per Person $0.46 $0.18
Per House $1.24 $0.48
30. What Gets Measured Matters
Typical Permit Language:
“Within [insert deadline, e.g., within the permit
term], the permittee must assess changes in
public awareness and behavior resulting
from the implementation of the program such
as using a statistically valid survey and modify
the education/outreach program accordingly.”
31. What Gets Measured Matters
Permits and guidance typically promote
measuring percent change in behavior.
BUT
Does not correlate behavior to a loading rate
Rarely identifies a valid start point or a
satisfactory end point
Ability to prioritize limited dollars is minimized
32. What Gets Measured Matters
Permit Effectiveness ≠ Behavior Effectiveness
Measuring evaluations and surveys against
learning objectives ≠ Behavior Effectiveness
33. Evaluate Cost Effectiveness
Recent webcasts provide helpful techniques
WEF: Evaluating Stormwater Outreach
EPA: Conducting Effective Stormwater Outreach
Neither promoted direct measurements to
supplement surveys and raised awareness
Neither discussed pollutant loading associated
with behaviors
34. Community Based Social Marketing
Approach by McKenzie-Mohr and Smith
Identify barriers and benefits
Define tools to change behavior
Pilot the approach
Evaluate results
Emphasize direct measurements
Supported by surveys and focus groups
41. Important Question #2
“If you can’t establish a load associated
with a behavior, how are you going to
measure improvement in water quality?”
Hint: Urban runoff loading based on
behavior is uncharted territory

Revisit IGA and bylaws to ensure reflection of current goals Revisit priority pollutant focus and associated behaviors to determine strategies - methodically Employ tools to measure embraced behavior - tracking and evaluate resource expenditures ?
When I think about education and outreach, I consider it across all Minimum Control Measures. IDDE, CSW, PCSW, GHPP
I also keep in my mind the 1999 text in the Federal Register regarding Maximum Extent Practicable. EPA envisioned an iterative process that would take 10-15 years to eliminate water quality impairments caused by MS4s In this frame of mind, education and outreach was never expected to be a permanent effort if MCMs were effective Illicit discharges were reported when found and citizens disposed of all waste properly Construction sites were all maintained properly and inspections were self-conducted to identify corrective actions Maintenance facilities were managed in pristine condition with pollution prevention integrated into all operations Watersheds were planned wisely, all developments included water quality treatment and permanent maintenance
The many unique differences between one program and another were fascinating, but frustrating at the same time Each partnership had its own approach and localized resources to approach education and outreach with One unifying theme – credit Mindy Fohn for illustrating this point for me – effectiveness is best defined by direct observations
If we aren’t clear where the end point might be, perhaps we could trend against categorical expenses incurred by other MS4s Trouble comparing due to expense categories and not tracking all things. Did start to get me thinking about budget amounts and the “knee of the curve” argument for CSO LTCPs exponential output of cost to generate an incremental benefit result put that idea into the parking lot for later use
One of these things is not like the other…stormwater is the only mandated effort required to change social and institutional behaviors.
Man’s impact upon the environment is nothing new. We have always been slow to acknowledge our need to embrace best practices in order to get the most out of the land. Hugh Bennett was the first to definitively communicate to the nation that the Dust Bowl was the result of man’s behavior The impact was wide, personal, and deadly – a consequence we may be to far from to appreciate the correlation to stormwater runoff
source: CNN 8/16/2012 http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/16/business/tobacco-health-warnings/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 Even measuring raised awareness isn’t a very good indicator of good behavior. America has one of the highest levels of national awareness about the health effects of smoking. And yet it continues to be the habit of choice for so many. Awareness does not equal embraced behavior.
Guns kill people and people create pollution The Causes of Pollution Conceptually, pollution is NOT the affect of pollutants. Pollution is the result of the ACT of introducing a pollutant into the environment. Therefore, MS4s should focus education on the pollutant generator. With proper behavior, pollution doesn’t occur and permit is not necessary.
Changing behavior is the underlying principle of any public education and outreach effort. Use a variety of assessment methods to evaluate the effectiveness. Are public education and outreach programs changing public awareness and behaviors?
US Stormwater education focuses on surveys and evaluations, but leave direct measurments off hoping that raised awareness will equate changed behaviors McKenzie-Mhor understands that sustainable behaviors are the result of a targeted outreach effort the starts with direct measurements and is supported by indirect assessments.
