Theory of Action
Theories of action “connect the values and intentions of leaders with their understanding of problems at hand and their knowledge of effective processes of change in given contexts” (Mintrop, 2016). They specify activities that need to take place in order to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, they establish causality (if “A” then “B). HEY!’s theory of actions were developed using findings from our needs assessment and our conceptual framework. Two theories of actions were developed-- one for students and one for parents.
