Theory of Action--Review

Theory of Action:

• “An articulated rationale for WHY a particular set of

actions or strategies are likely to lead to the outcomes you seek”

• Can be rooted in:
• Research
• Examples of good practice
• Evidence you collect about your own practice
• Intuition (but be careful about this….)

TEAM TIME

What needs to be changed/added to your Theory of Action? What interim evidence will you collect? When? When and how will you analyze if you need a mid-course correction? What ultimate evidence will show the progress you expect?
