Logic model for this course

As an exercise to introduce logic models, we recently spent time during class creating a logic model for this course based on the language on the NEC website. I'll share my personal attempt:

Mission: "This course offers participants both the conceptual and practical knowledge necessary to initiate a successful community-based artistic residency. Participants also gain a network of similarly inspired colleagues."

Theory of change: If a musician gains knowledge and skills to initiate his/her own community-based residency, then that musician will feel more artistically satisfied and develop a sustainable lifestyle that also brings great benefits to his/her community.

Current conditions: Independent professional musicians--including music school alumni--need support to create artistically satisfying and financial sustainable community-based initiatives.

Inputs: Instructor, curriculum, guest presenters/practitioners, web-based resource library.

Activities: 24 two-hour sessions (including presentations of work in December and April), individual consultations with instructor, readings and other homework assignments.

Outputs: 20 musicians who have a "holistic understanding of the nuances of creating a sustainable community-based artistic initiative" and a network of colleagues engaged in related endeavors.

Outcomes: 20 musicians experience greater artistic satisfaction and financial sustainability through their community-based activities. Some of them launch and/or grow new community-based initiatives.

Impact: An ever-growing network of musicians are finding artistic satisfaction and financial sustainability through community-based work. Many communities are experiencing the benefits of hosting so many encounters with artists and the engaging experiences that they provide through art.
