Drawing and citing from Chapters 7 and 8 in your Program Evaluation for Social Workers e-book, describe the program theory and create a logic model of a social work program. It could be one from you own work or internship experience, a program at which you are interested in working or interning in the future, or one described in an academic journal.
Note that your post should be substantive and be 500–750 words. It should be well-organized and proofread.
Program theory is a logical explanation of how a program is supposed to work and achieve its intended outcomes. It provides a clear understanding of the program’s underlying assumptions and the mechanisms by which it is expected to produce change.
For example, a social work program aimed at reducing recidivism among juvenile offenders might have a program theory that states that providing therapy, mentoring, and educational opportunities to youth while they are in detention and after their release will improve their decision-making skills, increase their sense of self-worth, and provide them with positive role models. This, in turn, will reduce their likelihood of reoffending.
