Strategies are typically described in the program materials and are essential for documenting the program\u2019s fidelity, or the degree to which the program is implemented as intended. Clearly articulated strategies move us from the question, \u201cDoes it work?\u201d to \u201cWhat about it works?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your team might find it helpful to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designkit.org\/methods\/storyboard.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">storyboard<\/a> of your program to help identify your strategies. Widely used in the motion picture production industry, storyboards are illustrations that represent individual shots or frames that together tell a story. This tool has been adopted as a human-centered design method for visualizing a participant or user\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font has-foreground-2-color has-text-color\">Tips for identifying strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strategies typically begin with an action word or verb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may want to note who or what is taking action (e.g., group facilitator provides information\u2026).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember: Strategies can be person-based, place-based, technological, or other types of actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-separator-block_afab8bc0d1da6f56788a53d2291ccba2\" class=\"acf-block block-separator no-margin \">\n     <hr style=\"height: 1px;border-top-style:solid;border-width:calc(1px - 1px);border-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-font-size-5-font-size wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Targets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font has-foreground-2-color has-septenary-background-color has-text-color has-background\">What caregiver and\/or child knowledge, skills, behaviors, beliefs, and\/or attitudes do your program strategies directly aim to change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the strategies are defined, the second step is typically to identify targets. <strong>Targets are the skills, behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge that the strategies aim to change in caregivers, children, and dyads.<\/strong> They are the participants\u2019 direct responses to the strategies and are usually linked to the activities and ideas described in the program materials. Because the strategies directly target these skills and behaviors, this is often where you would expect to see immediate and large impacts.<br><br>Furthermore, if the expected outcomes are not achieved, examining impacts on targets may help explain where the breakdown in the predicted sequence occurred. In short, this part of the ToC moves us from the question, \u201cDoes it work?\u201d to \u201cHow does it work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font\">Tips for identifying targets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your ToC should only have targets for the participants you directly engage with as part of the program. For example, if only caregivers participate in the program, you wouldn\u2019t have child targets because they do not receive program strategies directly. But, you may have child outcomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note the direction of change you hope to see (i.e., increase or decrease).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The targets should be evident in your program materials. For example, if you have a session designed to increase parental responsiveness, then &#8220;increasing parenting responsiveness\u201d is a target of the program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-separator-block_afab8bc0d1da6f56788a53d2291ccba2\" class=\"acf-block block-separator no-margin \">\n     <hr style=\"height: 1px;border-top-style:solid;border-width:calc(1px - 1px);border-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-font-size-5-font-size wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font has-foreground-2-color has-septenary-background-color has-text-color has-background\">What are the ultimate goals of your program?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outcomes are the changes you hope to see in caregivers, children, the dyad, the community, etc., as a result of the program.<\/strong> These may encompass both immediate outcomes and longer-term outcomes. An outcome is important in and of itself\u2014not just as a step toward another, more important goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font\">Tips for identifying outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remember: Outcomes are meaningful changes in functioning or well-being.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outcomes might include short-term and long-term changes (e.g., things you\u2019d expect to be different by the end of the program vs. things that may take more time to change).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-separator-block_afab8bc0d1da6f56788a53d2291ccba2\" class=\"acf-block block-separator no-margin \">\n     <hr style=\"height: 1px;border-top-style:solid;border-width:calc(1px - 1px);border-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-font-size-5-font-size wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Moderators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font has-foreground-2-color has-septenary-background-color has-text-color has-background\">What factors could affect who benefits most and\/or least?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IDEAS Impact Framework helps determine who benefits most from a program (to inform scaling) and who benefits least or not at all (to prompt a search for new ideas). To do that, the fourth step in the ToC process is to document potential moderators. <strong>Moderators are person- or context-based factors hypothesized to affect which participants benefit more from a program and which participants benefit less or not at all.<\/strong> In other words, moderators help explain individual differences in response to a program, moving us beyond evaluating, \u201cDoes it work?\u201d to investigating, \u201cFor whom does it work or not work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font\">Tips for identifying Moderators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consider factors related to the caregiver, child, program staff, and context.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indicate the hypothesized direction of moderation (i.e., do you believe this factor is associated with better or poorer outcomes?).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-separator-block_afab8bc0d1da6f56788a53d2291ccba2\" class=\"acf-block block-separator no-margin \">\n     <hr style=\"height: 1px;border-top-style:solid;border-width:calc(1px - 1px);border-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--septenary-dark);\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-medium\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve drafted each domain of your ToC, you can continue to refine it by asking each of the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-semibold-font\">Confirm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do your strategies include action words?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do targets, outcomes, and moderators indicate a direction?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is each strategy targeting at least one target?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is each target connected to at least one outcome?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-small-bottom-margin\"><strong>Fill in <\/strong>\u2013 is there anything missing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-small-bottom-margin\"><strong>Trim down<\/strong> \u2013 is there anything that could be consolidated or removed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clarify<\/strong> \u2013 would someone who wasn\u2019t part of the process know what you mean?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-no-margin has-septenary-dark-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div id=\"toggle-large-block_3d8a410f1cbd38e73be4e64fb6ff17cb\" class=\"acf-block block-toggle-large image-left light-background\">\n\n     <div class=\"block-toggle-large__toggle\" id=\"block-toggle-large-block_3d8a410f1cbd38e73be4e64fb6ff17cb\">\n\n          <div class=\"block-toggle-large__top\">\n\n               \n                    <div class=\"block-toggle-large__top-image\">\n\n                         \n                                                       <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ideas.developingchild.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Copy-of-180418_valleysettlement_055-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"El Busesito IDEAS Impact girl and teacher in front of bus\" \/>\n                         \n                    <\/div>\n\n               \n               <div class=\"block-toggle-large__top-content\">\n\n                    \n                         \n                                                       <span class=\"block-toggle-large__text-arrow\">\n                                                                      <svg width=\"24\" height=\"28\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 28\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                                        <path d=\"M12 2L12 22\" stroke=\"#F2695A\" stroke-width=\"3\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\/>\n                                        <path d=\"M2 15L12 25L22 15\" stroke=\"#F2695A\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/>\n                                   <\/svg>\n                                   The IDEAS Framework in action                              <\/span>\n                         \n                    \n                    \n                                                       <h2 class=\"block-toggle-large__header\">\n                                   The <em>El Busesito<\/em> Theory of Change                              <\/h2>\n                         \n                    \n               <\/div>\n\n               <button class=\"block-toggle-large__button\" aria-label=\"Toggle Open &#038;

For example, we removed the targets of decreased stress \u2026 since the program is not intentionally addressing [that outcome] for parents<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current <em>El Busesito<\/em> ToC (see below) reflects a high level of <em>precision<\/em> about what the program entails and how the team believes it has an impact. The <em>El Busesito<\/em> program includes multiple components, including services delivered to children and their parents. Each of these components is captured in their ToC. Remember that it\u2019s only necessary to include strategies and targets for individuals your program or product engages directly with. For example, the ToC for a parenting group might only include strategies delivered to parents and the corresponding parent-level targets. The child-level change would be captured in the outcomes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"download-block_7772ff8b4a56e234fceaa792b15b63fc\" class=\"acf-block block-download\">\n\n     <a class=\"block-download__link\" href=\"https:\/\/ideas.developingchild.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/El-Busesito-example-ToC.pdf\" download aria-label=\"Download El Busesito's Theory of Change doucment in English and Spanish\">\n                    <svg width=\"19\" height=\"26\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 30\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n               <path d=\"M2.48828 28H21.5115\" stroke=\"#3D4457\" stroke-width=\"3\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\/>\n               <path d=\"M12 2L12 19.0491\" stroke=\"#3D4457\" stroke-width=\"3\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\/>\n               <path d=\"M3.47559 13.0819L12.0002 21.6065L20.5247 13.0819\" stroke=\"#3D4457\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/>\n          <\/svg>\n     <\/a>\n\n     <div class=\"block-download__innerBlocks acf-inner-blocks-container\">\n\n<p>Download a PDF of <em>El Busesito&#8217;s<\/em> Theory of Change in English and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n     <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div id=\"next-button-block_04de29450df8ba193136ef4436ae9ae1\" class=\"acf-block block-next-button\">\n\n     <a class=\"block-next-button__button\" href=\"https:\/\/ideas.developingchild.harvard.edu\/theory-of-change\/how-to-use-a-theory-of-change\/\">\n\n          <div class=\"block-next-button__text\">\n\n               <span class=\"block-next-button__leader is-style-eyebrow\">\n                    Next:               <\/span>\n\n               <span class=\"block-next-button__button-text\">\n                    How to use a Theory of Change               <\/span>\n\n               \n          <\/div>\n\n          <span class=\"block-next-button__arrow\">\n                              <svg width=\"28\" height=\"23\" viewBox=\"0 0 28 23\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n               <path d=\"M2 11.4999L22 11.4999\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"3\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\/>\n               <path d=\"M15 21.4999L25 11.4999L15 1.49988\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/>\n               <\/svg>\n          <\/span>\n\n     <\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developing a Theory of Change Although many early childhood programs find these four domains work well to capture their theory of change, the IDEAS Impact Framework ToC template is also designed to be flexible.
