Evaluation: Linking the State Plan, Logic Model, and Annual Work Plan

Linking the 5-year plan, logic model and annual work plan

There are three primary program planning tools – the 5–year State plan, the logic model, and the annual work plan. This document will review each tool and describe how they are related; provide suggestions on how to visually link each tool; and provide information on why linking them is beneficial to the DD Council. Program planning is the foundation of solid evaluation because it determines what objectives a DD Council intends to accomplish, determines how the objectives will be accomplished, and provides ways to measure the accomplishment.

Descriptions:
The 5-year State plan describes the current state of services and supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families, identifies gaps in services, and outlines five –year goals, strategies to achieve the goals, and serves as a “blueprint” to move the DD Council forward to new accomplishments.
