1. OUTCOMES MODEL

This type displays the interrelationships of goals and objectives.


2. ACTIVITIES MODEL

This type links the various activities together in a manner that indicates the process of program implementation providing the big picture of how the activities and processes pull together achieve desired outcomes.


3. THEORY MODEL

This model links theoretical constructs together to explain the underlying assumptions of the program. It describes why the program is expected to work.
