The Process
Theory of Change
What does the theory of change feel and look like?
Want to see what happened?
Strengths and Challenges of Mapping
Strengths � Public/private partners_____ � Provided a picture that
highlighted the interdependencies between the goals
� Identified levers of change � Mapped flows of influence � Helped to identify first steps � Investment in process � Opportunities to refine
Challenges � Complexity of map and
scope of work � Too academic � Not enough time to
develop out fully � Facilitator content
expertise � People/Orgs feeling
excluded � Director participation
Phases � Phase 1: Jan – July 2012:
Development and vetting of indicator framework.
� Phase 2: July 2012- July 2013: Partnership Development on Strategies.
� Phase 3: July 2013-2014: Strategy Refinement.

Childhood professionals and K-3 professionals. # of professionals.

� # of individual transition plans completed for children in state funded programs.
� Inform development of an individual kindergarten entry assessment system, # of indicators.

Needed Mentorship � Visualization/Utilization, How can we make the systems understandings more
accessible to a wider group, both inside and outside the network? Are there other ways to visualize the system, to show priority areas for intervention? How do we show articulate through infographics root problems to legislators, funders, partners etc. that doesn’t overwhelm them. The map is a great starting point, but what supporting visualizations could we create to highlight certain areas of the map to get strategic buy-in, funding etc.
� Institutionalization. How can the map become part of the continuous daily
routine of the network—to identify what is missing, needed initiatives, etc.? The action strategy is across many departments—we need their buy in, but don’t bring them together regularly at a leadership level. We need leaders to vet priorities and the action strategy—but don’t have that yet.
� Learning/Impact. How can we monitor progress across the many projects? It is
easier to document the planning and workplans—but how can they be tied back to the map? How do we show progress in closing loops? How do people explain why they are doing what they are doing (theories of change)? How does it all add up? How do we show impacts beyond the individual level—impacts on the larger system?
We are looking forward to learning with you!
