Logic Models Guiding Our Work

What is a Logic Model?

“A logic model is a systematic and visual way to present and share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your program, the activities you plan, and the changes or results you hope to achieve.” (W.K. Kellogg Foundation 2004).

How does the School District of Philadelphia use Logic Models?

We use logic models to articulate how interrelated activities are planned and implemented to achieve our short- and long-term goals. We also develop logic models to articulate approaches for individual programs, procedures, and policies. Logic models are designed to be actionable plans with explicit steps.

Our working logic models include:

• Schools Entering System of Great Schools (SGS) Logic Model – January 2020
• Ninth Grade Academy Logic Model – June 2019
• Great Teachers (Anchor Goal 3) Logic Model – May 2019
