About this file
This is an Exhibit C Activities and Outcomes Form document prepared for the Commonwealth of Virginia's SNAP Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) program under RFP BEN-25-048. The document provides instructions and a template for subrecipients to develop performance measurement frameworks that track both activities and outcomes for employment and training services delivered to SNAP recipients. The form requires subrecipients to document key activities and initiatives, identify staff responsible for implementation, define outputs (process measures including frequency, participant numbers, and timeframes), articulate interim outcomes reflecting qualitative improvements in participant progress, and establish evaluation measures that demonstrate both quantitative and qualitative results contributing to higher-level social outcomes.
The performance measurement system outlined in this document is designed to enable legislators, funding sources, and communities to assess the impact of invested dollars and demonstrate how SNAP E&T services change participants' lives and advance them toward career objectives. Subrecipients must complete a structured work plan that connects service activities to measurable outputs and outcomes, utilizing evidence-based evaluation instruments with demonstrated reliability and validity such as surveys, focus groups, observations, rating scales, and goal attainment tracking. The document emphasizes that outcome measures should document qualitative changes in participant behavior, knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and conditions resulting from specific employment and training activities, with the ultimate goal of supporting SNAP recipients in reaching career objectives through tailored services focused on wage growth and career pathway advancement.

Exhibit C
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ACTIVITIES/OUTCOMES FORM
Performance Measurement is a system for measuring the results of public programs. Performance measurement enables legislators, funding sources, and communities to know what impact the dollars have had i.e. what effect or change has resulted from dollars invested and how a person’s life or community has been changed.
Performance measurement starts with “the end in mind” e.g. what do you want to occur as a result of your service?
Performance measurement consists of:
High level outcomes: Desired results in social health or well-being. High level outcomes reflect the longer-term, global effects the program is intended to achieve. ( e.g. To reduce the number of SNAP participants.)
Activities: List the key activities/initiatives proposed to achieve the goal(s) and objective(s) of the grant program.
Staff Responsible: Indicate the staff or organizations responsible for carrying out each activity/initiative.
Output: An output is a process measure which describes the conditions under which measurements will be made. This may refer to the timeframe and/or implementation of an activity/initiative, frequency, number of participants, etc.
Process measures are activity focused and contribute to interim outcomes. They do not reflect qualitative outcomes.
(e.g. the number of parents participating in parent education classes or the number of community presentations.)
Outcomes: Interim improvements in participant’s or community progress towards a high level outcome. Interim outcomes reflect a more immediate or direct effect the proposed project is intended to achieve. Outcomes typically address changes in participant performance/behavior that occur as a result of specific activities. They may include, but are not limited to a change or benefit in behavior, knowledge, skills, attitude, values, or condition.
Outcome Measures: Documents the condition of clients after a service has been provided (e.g. increased skills, modified behavior, improved condition). Outcome measures address qualitative outcomes.
Outcome measures can include research based instruments with demonstrated reliability and validity, statistics, interviews, observations, rating scales, surveys, focus groups, records, goal attainment, etc.
Performance measurement enables program directors and communities to measure program effectiveness and demonstrate both quantitative and qualitative results that contribute to a higher level social outcome.
Example:
Strategy Agency “x” will provide parenting classes for parents known to CPS
Staff Responsible John Doe
Output 6 weeks, 2 hour sessions for 10-12 participants, during the period of 6/01/07 – 7/15/08
Interim Outcome Parents will use redirection, positive reinforcement & praise to promote desired behavior
Outcome Measure 80% of parents completing course will use redirection, praise and positive reinforcement as measured by “x” instrument.
