You will identify and describe the program theory by outlining the components of the program and determining which of them is measurable. You must cover the following in the paper: identify the purpose and scope of the assessment, develop a program template that describes the goals and objectives of the program, and create a short list of questions (5–10) for a focus group or an interview that will help narrow down the scope of the program.
