From the publisher:
Getting To Outcomes with Developmental Assets weaves together strands of proven evaluation and accountability models that include critical elements of program planning, implementation and outcome measurement. Taken individually, these strands lack all the elements practitioners need to achieve positive results, but braided together "and integrated with the Developmental Assets® framework," they provide a full range of resources needed to improve the quality of community development work as well as report and measure performance.
Getting To Outcomes is based on 10 accountability questions that embrace a comprehensive approach to results-based accountability. Each step is illustrated with examples from Search Institute® and its national Healthy Communities • Healthy Youth® (HC•HY) initiative, a network of 600 community organizations, which demonstrate a helpful combination of scientific research and grassroots mobilization strategies.
In addition, the book contains a chapter reviewing the empirical evidence on the assets model and the GTO model. Included with the softcover manual is a CD-ROM with worksheets, forms, and tools for community development workers.
