Inputs Activities Outputs Short-Term Outcomes

(Changes in knowledge, skill, attitudes, and values)

Intermediate Outcomes (Changes in behavior, practice, or process)

Long-Term Outcomes (Changes in condition, status, and experience)

ACL contract funding for DDC

T/TA staff support DDC program staff support COR oversight DDC network identified T/TA needs

T/TA staff expertise

Project Management Annual strategic plan; monthly report on emerging T/TA needs and trends; self-monitoring process for assessing progress on outcomes; annual evaluation on how T/TA has supported DDCs; T/TA with specific attention on the needs of Council performance; use evidenced based strategies, resources and tools; apply innovative techniques while maintaining cost-efficiency; develop resources of broad relevancy and provide individualized support to more complex needs; practice continuous quality improvement Knowledge Development Training and technical assistance that supports Councils in their operations, performance and outcomes; development of tools and resources targeted to meet the individual and specialized needs of Councils.
