Slide 1 Developing an Outcomes-Focused SPIL: Three Easy Steps Module 3 A series of online workshops for SILCs Facilitated by: Mike Hendricks, Ph.D. Slide 2 Review of Module #2 • Mission • Goals • Objectives • Partial logic model Slide 3 Nevona’s Partial Logic Model Image of eleven horizontal boxes, starting at the top: 1) Persons with disabilities (PWDs) participate as fully as they like in community activities. Second row of boxes 2) PWDs self-advocate for their needs; 3) IL network members are highly capable organizations; 4) Key decision makers are sensitive to the needs of PWDs; 5) Sufficient resources are available and stable for IL services; 6) Persons previously underserved and underrepresented have more presence and power in the IL network; 7) PWDs in institutions transition successfully into community settings. Third row of boxes 8)Network members use modern management; 9) Historically offered services are retooled to maximize dwindling resources; 10) Network members undertake entrepreneurial activities and partnerships with other networks and organizations; 11) Those network members "in need" receive help to enhance their capabilities. Slide 4 Three Easy Steps • Decide what you want to achieve – Mission, goals, objectives, partial logic model • Turn generalities into specifics – Measurable indicators, geographic scope, target performance level after three years, target progress between now and year three • Develop an action strategy to achieve each Objective – Necessary activities, lead organization, key partners, resources needed, funding sources Slide 5 Module #3 Turn generalities into specifics: • Measurable indicators • Geographic scope • Target performance level after three years • Target progress between now and year three Slide 6 Turn Generalities into Specifics • Objectives are the core of your SPIL, but often they’re too general to plan for in detail • One of Nevona’s Objectives is “Those network members ‘in need’ receive help to enhance their capabilities” • But what does this mean—precisely? • Filling in a SPIL Planning Table is a great way to flesh out precisely what you want to achieve Slide 7 SPIL Planning Table--(Specifics) Image of a Table: 1 Header) Specific Objectives, Measurable Indicator, Geographic Scope, Target Performance Level for Year 3, Target Progress Between Now and Year 3; 2) Rows 1-4 under Specific Objective, Objective... Slide 8 Remember Our Sample IL Objective? Image of eleven horizontal boxes, starting at the top: 1) Persons with disabilities (PWDs) participate as fully as they like in community activities. Second row of boxes 2) PWDs self-advocate for their needs; 3) IL network members are highly capable organizations; 4) Key decision makers are sensitive to the needs of PWDs; 5) Sufficient resources are available and stable for IL services; 6) Persons previously underserved and underrepresented have more presence and power in the IL network; 7) PWDs in institutions transition successfully into community settings. Third row of boxes 8)Network members use modern management; 9) Historically offered services are retooled to maximize dwindling resources; 10) Network members undertake entrepreneurial activities and partnerships with other networks and organizations; 11) Those network members "in need" receive help to enhance their capabilities. Slide 9 Put This Objective Into the First Column Image of a Table: 1 Header) Specific Objectives, Measurable Indicator, Geographic Scope, Target Performance Level for Year 3, Target Progress Between Now and Year 3; 2) Row 1 under Specific Objective, Those network members "in need" receive help to enhance their capabilities 3) Rows 2-4 under Specific Objective, Objective... Slide 10 Start With Your Indicators A. Develop a measurable indicator for each objective This is a vital step, and it can be hard at first It can help if you ask yourself: - What information will tell us if we’re being successful in achieving this Objective? (or) - How could we know how fully this Objective is being achieved? (or) - For science fiction fans, how would two parallel universes be different on this Objective if we succeed in only one universe? Slide 11 Key Quote: "Indicators Define Objectives" • An Objective is often just a nice concept (“receive help”) until we define it more specifically • An indicator defines what we mean by an Objective • Usually, there are several different ways to define an Objective—which one is our definition? • It’s good to brainstorm possible indicators, then choose the one best suited for your situation Slide 12 Let's Look At the Non-IL Program Objectives Images of Non-IL Program with one box at the top: 1) Overweight kids (OKs) weigh less. Two boxes pointing up to the one box: 1) OKs are eating healthier foods; 2) OKs are exercising more. Three boxes pointing to the box containing OKs are eating healther foods: 1) OKs want to eat healthier foods; 2) OKs know which foods are healthier; 3) OKs have access to healthier foods. Three boxes pointing to the one box OKs are exercising more: 1) OKs want to exercise more; 2) OKs have easy opportunities to exercise; 3) OKs have consistent exercise partners. Slide 13 Possible Indicators for This Objective Image of a table: 1 Header) Objective for Overweight Kids Program, Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective; 2) First Row, Overweight kids (OKs) have easy opportunities to exercise, number and percentage of OKs whose school offers them a physical exercise (PE) class at least three days per week. Slide 14 Possible Indicators for This Objective Image of a table: 1 Header) Objective for Overweight Kids Program, Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective; 2) First Row, Overweight kids (OKs) have easy opportunities to exercise, number and percentage of OKs whose school offers them a physical exercise (PE) class at least three days per week; 3) Row Two under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs who have a free or low-cost recreation facility of some sort (gym, playground, park, pool, outdoor course, etc.) within one mile of their home. Slide 15 Possible Indicators for This Objective Image of a table: 1 Header) Objective for Overweight Kids Program, Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective; 2) First Row, Overweight kids (OKs) have easy opportunities to exercise, number and percentage of OKs whose school offers them a physical exercise (PE) class at least three days per week; 3) Row Two under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs who have a free or low-cost recreation facility of some sort (gym, playground, park, pool, outdoor course, etc.) within one mile of their home; 4) Row three under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs who have a functioning piece of aerobic exercise equipment in their home. Slide 16 Possible Indicators for This Objective Image of a table: 1 Header) Objective for Overweight Kids Program, Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective; 2) First Row, Overweight kids (OKs) have easy opportunities to exercise, number and percentage of OKs whose school offers them a physical exercise (PE) class at least three days per week; 3) Row Two under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs who have a free or low-cost recreation facility of some sort (gym, playground, park, pool, outdoor course, etc.) within one mile of their home; 4) Row three under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs who have a functioning piece of aerobic exercise equipment in their home. Slide 17 Choose the Indicator That is SMARTest: • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Relevant • Timely Slide 18 Good Indicators are SMART: • Specific = Is it clear exactly what is being measured? • Measurable = Can the necessary information be gathered with an acceptable amount of effort and cost? • Achievable = Is the indicator somewhere between too easy to achieve and hopelessly out of reach? • Relevant = Does the indicator capture the core essence of the desired outcome? • Timely = Is the indicator likely to move enough during the designated time period to provide useful information? Slide 19 Possible Indicators for a Non-IL Objective Image of a table: 1 Header) Objective for Overweight Kids Program, Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective; 2) First Row, Overweight kids (OKs) have easy opportunities to exercise, number and percentage of OKs whose school offers them a physical exercise (PE) class at least three days per week; 3) Row Two under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs who have a free or low-cost recreation facility of some sort (gym, playground, park, pool, outdoor course, etc.) within one mile of their home; 4) Row three under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs who have a functioning piece of aerobic exercise equipment in their home. 5) Row four under Possible Measurable Indicators for this Objective, number and percentage of OKs whose parents are willing to let them walk briskly in the streets/roads outside their home.

Slide 29 Add Geographic Scope and Year 3 Targets B. Specify the geographic scope for each Objective – Statewide? Only rural areas? “Hot spots”? C. Set a Year 3 perform ance target for each Objective – What an indicator should “read” in Year 3, at the end of the 3-year SPIL period – Art & science: your performance right now, your best predictions of progress, other States, national standards, experts, etc. Slide 30 Add Targets for Interim Progress D. Set targets for interim progress between now and Year 3 – Please don’t wait 3 years to see how you’re doing – Monitor your progress as often as makes sense (annually, 6 months, 3 months) – What pattern of progress can you expect? (steady, gathers steam, levels off?)

Slide 48 Now It's Your Turn • Stop this video • Choose 2-3 of your SPIL’s Objectives • As in our examples, write these 2-3 Objectives in column 1 of your SPIL Planning Table (Specifics) • For each Objective, fill in columns 2-5: – Measurable indicator (or maybe more than one?) – Geographic scope – Target performance level for Year 3 – Target progress between now and Year 3 • Work together on this, until you have a product all of you are comfortable with • Turn this video back on Slide 49 Let's Review Your Specifics • As a group, review your specifics: - Measurable indicators - Geographic scope - Year 3 target - Interim targets Slide 50 How SMART Are Your Indicators? • Fill in a table like this to check your indicators one-by-one (For Use On Table Below) On a 1-5 scale (1 equals Not at all; 5 equals Very) Image of a Table: 1 Header) Is this indicator, Indicator; Under Indicator in Header, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., Last; 2) Row one under Is This Indicator, Specific?; 3) Row two under Is This Indicator, Measurable?; 4) Row three under Is This Indicator, Achievable?; 5) Row four under Is This Indicator, Relevant?; 6) Row five under Is This Indicator, Timely? Slide 51 Is the Scope Correct for Each Objective? • Do you need to achieve each objective over your entire state? • Or do you mean to focus some efforts on certain areas, such as creating more transportation in rural areas or making existing transportation more accessible in urban areas? • Or are there geographic hotspots where certain objectives are especially relevant? Slide 52 Is Your Year Three Target on Target? • Is each target ambitious, but still possible? • How did you set each target? - Extrapolate your progress from past years? - See what other states have achieved? - Look at national standards? - Talk with experts in that field? Slide 53 Are Your Interim Targets on Target? • Do you know how you measure up on each objective right now? (Baseline, starting point) • What’s your theory about how progress will occur: - Will progress be a steady, straight line? - Will there be a lot of progress at first, then less? - Will there be little progress at first, then more? • Will this pattern be exactly the same for each objective? (Not very likely) • Do your interim targets reflect these different patterns? Slide 54 Your Turn-One More Time • Stop this video • As a group, review your specifics: - Measurable indicators - Geographic scope - Year 3 target - Interim targets • Revise your specifics based on this review • Congratulate yourselves on learning Step 2!
