EVALUATION AT BREAKTHROUGH
No program is perfect, but all should strive to be. At Breakthrough, we believe that regular program evaluation is a critical process to be embraced, not a chore to be avoided.

Breakthrough uses a tool called a logic model to organize its evaluation efforts. A logic model is like a recipe for the entire program. It explains:

1. What ingredients we need (inputs)
2. What activities we do with those ingredients (outputs)
3. What the results will be if recipe is followed (outcomes)

Each fall, we assemble our program data into a comprehensive evaluation, which we call the “Breakthrough Breakdown.” Read the full Breakthrough Breakdown for 2008-09 .
