Four Frames for Choosing Performance Metrics for Child and Family Service Programs: Strategic Planning,Decision Points,Logic Modeling,and Implementation Science
This article provides guidance for child and family service organizations seeking to develop useful performance metrics for their programs. It describes four frames for this work, based on strategic planning, decision points, logic modeling, and implementation science. These four frameworks are applied to two cases, an afterschool program and a therapeutic foster care program. Additional considerations are provided for reducing potential metrics to a meaningful few.
