Logic Model Scoring Rubric

Beginner (1) Developing (2) Accomplished (3)Criteria

Documenting Need Claims there is a problem or need but fails to quantify the issue

Identifies a reasonable measure of the problem or need but it is not directly related to the target population

Identifies both the problem or need as well as the degree to which the issue is impacting the target population – Establishes a clear need based on data

Proposing a Solution Proposes a solution or approach to solving the problem or addressing the need identified

The proposed solution is a model or evidence-based program

The identified solution includes evidence of effectiveness or is proven to work in the target population

Identifying Indicators of Success

Outcome measures or indicators of success are included

Proposed outcome measures or indicators of success are logically linked or associated with the identified need or problem

The proposed outcome measures or indicators of success are based on past experience, industry standards or research that demonstrates a relationship between the solution and the identified problem, need or issue – the selected measures fully support checking the solution against identified issue

Assess the Solution Targeted level(s) of change are included, although the basis for the target is not stated

Targets for change are logical but may still be based on assumptions – targets are not fully vetted

Targets for change are justified based on documented similar or past results achieved, either by the proposer or in related research

Overall Impression The logic model presents an unsupported prediction about a possible solution to an identified problem, need or issue

The logic model presents a logical, loosely supported guess at a solution to an identified problem, need or issue

The logic model presents a solution to an identified problem, need or issue that is fully justified with practical and logical reasoning based on experience, data and/or research
