Think about a program theory exercise in which you have participated or with which you are familiar and identify:

a. The sources of information that were used and what other sources of

information could have been used to develop the program theory.

b. What general approach was used to develop the program theory:

articulating stakeholder mental models, deductive approaches, or

inductive approaches, and what other approaches might have been

feasible.

c. How the program theory might have looked different with the addition of other sources of information or other methods of developing

the program theory.

d. Challenges that arose in developing the program theory and how

those challenges were addressed. What other approaches could have

been taken to address those challenges?
