In the same way that educators use backward design to develop curriculum, logic models begin with the long-term outcome that the district aims to attain. Then, work backwards to define short- or medium-term goals that will help the district to achieve the long-term result. From there, work backwards again to outline the activities or strategies that must be implemented to achieve that goal. For example, the graphic below illustrates a long-term goal of increasing the proportion of CCMR-ready graduates in the district. The district might choose to implement multiple strategies to achieve this goal. Thus, a logic model table could have multiple rows, all aiming each of which describes different strategies that aim to attain the same long-term goal. In this example, one intermediate impact is highlighted--increasing the proportion of students who earn one or more industry-based certifications (IBCs)--along with the strategies the district plans to implement in order to achieve that goal.
