Presenters: Nicole Young & Nicole Lezin (consultants to CORE)

Interpreter: Stella Lauerman

Bilingual meeting support: Gisella Carrasco

Language: English, with simultaneous Spanish interpretation

Join us as we lead interactive discussions and activities on how to:

• Use your theory of change and logic model to describe your proposed program (who you will serve, activities or services, needs and inequities your program addresses, etc.) in relation to a specific CORE Condition and Impact Statement.

• Use the CORE Continuum of Results and Evidence and principles of the Equitable Evaluation Framework™ for program planning and evaluation.

• Develop outcome statements that are Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Relevant, Time-bound, Inclusive, and Equitable (SMARTIE).

• Prepare to collect data using a Results-Based Accountability (RBA) framework—e.g. How much did you do and for whom? How well did you do it? Is anyone better off as a result?
