4 1.4 Part 3: Overview This presentation will demonstrate how to: access the Sample Plan Library; create Logic Models; use the Objective Builder; develop Process Objectives; and how to access some helpful tools within the planner, such as a comprehensive workbook and informative tabs within the worksheets. Page 4 of 24

5 1.5 Part 3: Learning Objectives By the end of this presentation, you will be able to: Import sample plans into your account and export sample plans to Microsoft Word Identify and populate the worksheets to create logic model, and generate a logic model output Define and develop outcome objectives using the objective builder tool Define and develop process objectives using the appropriate worksheet Page 5 of 24

6 1.6 Sample Plan Library We will begin by looking at the Sample Plan Library. You can access the Sample Plan Library from the main navigation menu under the Learning Centre menu. At the top of the page you will see an overview of the features of the Sample Plan Library, as well as a list of benefits this section has to offer. If you scroll down the page you will see a list of the plans available in the library. They are organized into categories for easy searching. Categories currently available include: Page 6 of 24

7 Tobacco Prevention of Injury Reproductive Health School Health Nutrition Child Health Substance Abuse and Training If you would like to read more information about a sample plan, click the text link called Click to show/hide background and acknowledgements. The box will expand and display more information about the plan. As you look through the listings you will notice a couple of options on the right side of each sample plan. One option is to Import, and the other one is to View in MS Word. If you like a sample plan and would like to import it into your own list of plans, click the Import button. If you click View in MS Word you can export the sample plan to print, share and edit the plan as desired. Once you ve imported the plan, you will see it in your My Plans list. The worksheets associated with this plan will be populated, and you may edit this plan as needed. Page 7 of 24

8 1.7 Logic Model Now let s take a look at how to build a logic model using the OHPP. Here is a blank example of what a Logic Model output looks like. It is built using specified worksheets, exports into Microsoft Word or a rich text format file, and is formatted nicely into a table which can be easily modified if needed. Page 8 of 24

9 1.8 Logic Model Each worksheet that contributes to the Logic Model is flagged by an icon at the top-left of the page called Adds to Logic Model. Many worksheets that add to the Logic Model are linked to other worksheets and therefore have prerequisites. Worksheets with prerequisites were discussed in the second part of this audio presentation series. So you will often see the Answers Carry Forward icon beside the Logic Model icon for this reason. Page 9 of 24

10 1.9 Logic Model If you are only interested in using the OHPP to generate a Logic Model, you only need to complete certain worksheets. This table shows you which worksheets contribute to the Logic Model. Page 10 of 24

11 1.10 Logic Model When you have completed the necessary worksheets and are ready to export your Logic Model, click the My Plans button in the main navigation menu, and click the link to Print answers, blank templates, samples. Select the option to print your Logic Model by checking My answers for output type, indicating whether you would like to generate a word document or a rich text format document and checking box beside logic model to select all worksheets associated with creating a logic model. Click the Generate button when you are ready to export your document. Page 11 of 24

12 1.11 Using the Objective Builder Now we will move on to utilizing the objective builder. The Objective Builder is in Worksheet 3.1: Set goals, audiences and outcome objectives, and helps you create a well-written outcome objective. Page 12 of 24

13 1.12 Using the Objective Builder First, we should define what is meant by an outcome objective. An outcome objective is a brief statement specifying the desired changes, or observable changes in an audience caused by a health promotion program. Depending on the accepted terms that your organization uses, these outcome objectives or changes may also be called results, impacts or effects. It s not the language that matters, but that you ve agreed to use specific terms consistently within your organization. Page 13 of 24

14 1.13 Using the Objective Builder A well-written outcome objective has four components: It has a Target - how much will it change It has a Priority Population - which is the audience that is changed by your program. It has an Outcome - which is an observable change in your population; something that shows how the world is different by completing your program. And it has Conditions - by when will this change occur. If you have all four of these components, you have a well-written outcome objective. Page 14 of 24

15 1.14 Using the Objective Builder An example is shown here. By identifying these four pieces of an objective separately, you can effectively build a complete, well-written outcome objective. Page 15 of 24

16 1.15 Using the Objective Builder The first two components that need to be filled out are your goals and your audiences. These are both open text boxes, similar to the Q&A style worksheets we reviewed in the second presentation of this series. Simply write your answers into these boxes and click save. The next components that need to be filled out are your objectives and your time frames. Click the Add button to begin. A popup box will appear which allows you to enter your objective and a time frame specific to that objective in either the freehand objective writer/editor or in the objective builder. This slide shows an example of the freehand Page 16 of 24

17 objective writer/editor. By clicking on the text Click here to toggle between the objective builder and the freehand writer you will be taken to another tool designed to help you identify the separate components of a properly written objective. This slide shows the objective builder, which includes a series of questions including: Who do you want to change? Who is your audience? What do you want to change to help reach your goal? Please provide details about the change you desire. In what direction do you want to affect change? By what month do you plan on achieving this change? By what year do you plan on achieving this change? Is this a short, medium or long-term objective? The objective builder will amalgamate your answers into a complete objective. After the objective has been formed, the language can be edited using the freehand objective writer/editor. When you are done inserting your information, click Save and continue. You will be brought back to the worksheet and can continue adding as many objectives as your plan requires. Page 17 of 24

18 1.16 Developing Process Objectives A process objective is a brief statement specifying what you re going to do or produce. Process objectives will help you to develop an operational plan and be more accountable for your actions. For each activity that you have selected in worksheet 4.2, you may want to produce one or more process objective. Page 18 of 24

19 1.17 Developing Process Objectives Just like with the outcome objectives, a well-written process objective has four components. The only difference is that instead of an outcome, now you have an output, which is the product or service that you are going to do or produce in order to reach your specific outcome objective. Page 19 of 24

20 1.18 Developing Process Objectives By identifying these four pieces separately, you can effectively build a complete, well-written process objective. Page 20 of 24

21 1.19 Developing Process Objectives Process objectives are created in worksheet 4.4: Develop process objectives. Click the add button to begin adding process objectives. A popup window will appear containing several questions. The first question is the list of activities you set up in worksheet 4.1 and 4.2. You can associate process objectives with these activities. Select an activity from that list and continue answering the rest of the questions. You can repeat these steps and add multiple objectives to a single activity if desired. Remember to click Save each time you are done adding process objectives to an activity. Page 21 of 24
