What is performance measurement?
….systematic process for measuring program outputs and outcomes.
Outputs
•Amount of service provided (people served, products created, or programs developed)
Outcomes
•Changes or benefits that occur as the result of the intervention
•Changes in individuals, organizations, communities, or the environment
•Changes in attitudes/beliefs, knowledge/skills, behavior, or conditions
![Page 5: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why Measure Performance? Accountability to funders and stakeholders
• Tell your story, justify funding
Recognizing progress; reflects change
• Reliable information collected in a systematic way
Program Improvement
• Spot and correct problems
• Strengthen the intervention
• Determine technical assistance needs
• Determine where to allocate resources

Align Output and OutcomeAlignment of Outputs and Outcomes:
•Intervention produces output
•Output leads to the outcome
•Output and outcome measure the same intervention and beneficiaries

Logic Model
Logic ModelA detailed visual representation of a program and its theory of changeCommunicates how a program works by depicting the intended relationships among program components

Key PMW Requirements Each applicant will need to complete a set of CA Performance
Measurement Worksheets (PMW):1. A fully-aligned PMW for the primary needs and service activity.2. Common Strengthening Communities PMW3. Common Member Development PMW
The Primary and Common Strengthening Communities PMWs combined must account for at least 80% of total member hours.
Member development activities cannot exceed 20% of total member hours.
Each additional secondary needs and service PMW must have an output and outcome.
A separate PMW is required for any proposed allowable fundraising activities.

1. Community Need
This is where your PM starts!Detailed information should be in your Narrative. On the PMW you should:
Clearly identify the need you’ll address.
Use data from reliable local sources.
Just the highlights of relevant facts
![Page 13: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. Result
What the community hopes to achieve. A statement in direct response to the community need. Two types:
1. Output: states amount of work or product created/delivered.
2. Outcome: states the change that will occur due to the service.
![Page 14: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Indicator
It is a specific item to gauge progress toward the Result:
It identifies the information/data to collect to assess progress
It operationalizes the Result
Measurable in a program year
Each Result needs an Indicator
![Page 15: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4. Inputs/Amount of Service
Think about the amount of effort needed to achieve the Result for the number you hope to serve.
a. # Members:
b. Hours per day:
c. Days per week:
d. Duration [weeks]:
e. Total estimated hours for the activity:
![Page 16: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
5. Target Population
Describe the “high need” group. Your narrative describes who/what needed AC services. Your activities should focus on those groups.
a. High need target pop.: [HINT: Review Community Need narrative]
b. # of direct high need beneficiaries:
c. Describe how you will identify & select to assure you have high need beneficiaries.
![Page 17: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
5. Service Activities
This is the intervention designed to address the Need & achieve the Result.
PMs are all about what members do.
Describe exactlyexactly what membersmembers will be doing to achieve the Result.
This doesn’t need to be long, just descriptive.
![Page 18: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Service Activities
Describe how you will achieve the result.
Who or what is the member working with? (high need group, general group, individuals)
What is being done? (manageable details!)
How long is the service? (hour, 20 mins a day)
How often is it done? (2x a week, M-W-F)
Where is the service conducted?
![Page 19: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Service Activity TipsThis is where you describe the service.
This isn’t about “why”, it’s about “what” and “how” the activity is being done.
Describe exactly what members do. “Tutoring” or “mentoring” mean what?
This is not the place to “justify” service.
Avoid repeating information in PMW
![Page 20: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
6. MeasurementHow will you measure progress? For each Indicator listed in #3 identify:
Fill-in instrument name to collect data on fill-in data needed.
1.Instrument name [HINT: this is not the “method”]
2.Data to be collected [HINT: stated in Indicator]
3.Who will complete the instrument
4.How often it will be completed
![Page 21: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
6. Measurement ExamplesFill-in instrument name to collect data on fill-in data needed.
Examples: Client Progress Report to collect data on
independent living level.
Forest Dept. Assessment to collect data on number of saplings thriving.
1st Responders Training Sign-in Sheet to collect data on attendance.
![Page 22: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
7. Targets
Targets are the quantifiable level of change desired to say service activity was successfulsuccessful.
Targets should be your best estimateBe realistic--not too high & not too lowUse previous data/research to estimate
![Page 23: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
7. Outcome Targets
Outcome Targets need to include:
1. Who changed [high need group receiving XX amount of AC services]
2. Number who changed [percentage and raw number]
3. What changed [e.g., knowledge, skill, behavior, conditions]
4. Amount of change [e.g., percent, points, level, certification]
![Page 24: CA Performance Measurement Worksheet (PMW) A Presentation for AmeriCorps Grant Applicants.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52c7b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Target Examples
220 of 400 (55%) elderly [targeted for a nursing home] receiving 30 hours of assistance, will remain “in their homes at least 4 months after service”.
60 of 100 (60%) members receiving 40 hours of training will pass 1st Responders certification as trainers.
300 of 500 (60%) saplings planted will be rated as “thriving” by the State Forest Dept. six months after planting
132 of 220 (60%) tutees [behind 2 grade levels], receiving 30 hours of tutoring, will increase reading skill by 1 grade level
