Readings for Module 2
Readings for Module 2
The exercises in the readings for this module will help you prepare for the logic model assignment. Though these exercises are key in guiding your program planning, thorough completion of each might take more time than we have in this course. Work through them knowing your effort is a rough draft and you can return to fine-tune.
First, read Mission, Vision, Values: What is the Difference?
Then read Program Assessment and Culling Resources
Finally, complete Mini Lesson: Using a Logic Model to Develop a Plan for a Garden Program
Here are two additional articles that may be helpful to you. At least, browse through both and note anything about community building that addresses your program and/or community needs.
