| Abstract: |
The article focuses on how educators can use a theory of change and a logic model as complementary tools to plan, implement, and evaluate professional learning and system improvement. Topics include distinguishing between the two tools and their purposes, connecting assumptions and evidence to desired outcomes, and translating ideas into structured, actionable steps for effective and sustained educational change. |
