Learn and Serve America Program Applicant Performance Measurement Toolkit

The purposes of this toolkit are to introduce the concept of performance measurement, provide information on performance measurement as it applies to Learn and Serve America programs, and in particular to help potential applicants for Learn and Serve America funding satisfy the performance measurement requirements of the application process. This toolkit describes: Performance measurement, outputs, intermediate outcomes, and end outcomes; The minimum requirements the Corporation for National and Community Service expects Learn & Serve America programs to report; How the logic model can be used to define desired results and provides logic model examples; What to consider when choosing methods and instruments for performance measurement; and How to complete a performance measurement worksheet. This toolkit also includes several appendices containing logic model examples, a glossary of performance measurement terminology, a cross reference of new and old terms, and a list of additional resources.
