Using a Logic Model to Focus Interventions and Achieve Desired Outcomes

In social work practice and in program development, it is possible to make faulty assumptions about what clients need and what social work activities will lead to. Consider the following: A team of social workers meets to discuss their services to low-income young mothers. One social worker states that what the young mothers need most is information about community resources. She proposes that the social workers activities consist of making referrals to programs for public assistance for income support, food stamps, medical insurance, employment agencies, and educational resources. However, another team member points out that most clients are referred to their program from the public welfare office and health care programs. This suggests that the clients tend to possess knowledge of these common resources and have been able to access them. How might the team explore what problems bring the clients to their agency? What might the team learn from client assessments? How can the team verify the desired outcomes of their services? Developing a logic model will help the team see a logical connection between problems, needs, intervention activities, and corresponding outcomes. This series of logical connections leads to formulating a theory of change, that is, a theory about how our work leads to the outcomes for clients. To prepare for this Discussion, imagine that you are part of a work group charged with creating a logic model and generating a theory of change. Select a practitioner-level intervention for which you are interested in analyzing connections. Consider how a logic model might be applied to that practice. By Day 3 Post a logic model and theory of change for a practitioner-level intervention. Describe the types of problems, the client needs, and the underlying causes of problems and unmet needs. Identify the short- and long-term outcomes that you think would represent an improved condition. Then describe interventions that would lead to a change in the presenting conditions. Be sure to search for and cite resources that inform your views.

Determine if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and explain why.

You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owners garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon.It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it. The owner has asked you to do the following: Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses, and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract. Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display. Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks. Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship. Recommend a new business entity, and provide rationale to support your recommendation. For each task, be sure to analyze the relevant law, apply the facts to the law, and make a conclusion.

Which policies would you forward to the Secretary, who will, in the best case, eventually endorse them and forward them on to the U.S. Congress for enabling legislation and the President for signature into law?

Table of Contents Module 8 Module 8 Discussion Module 8 Discussion Previous Next Please consider this following hypothetical in composing your response to this module’s discussion question. The Secretary of Interior has just appointed you to be the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs. As such, you are charged with developing policies to address areas of social dysfunction in Native American society, like alcoholism, drug abuse, and domestic violence. On the other hand, other policies are to be developed in an effort to promote economic development for both Urban Native Americans and those living on reservations. In considering which policies you would choose to forward for consideration, reflect on what you have learned in this course. Which policies were abject failures? Why did they fail? Were any federal policies a success? Which ones? Why? When you have decided on which policies to forward for consideration, please apply any, some, or all of Saint Leo’s core values to your product, explaining how the policies incorporate those core values. Finally, this is not to be as structured as past modules’ discussion posts. Have fun with this, and, hopefully, it will provide you with a platform for exhibiting the knowledge you have developed over the last eight weeks.
