This paper describes the use of qualitative inquiry to provide a participants-eye-view of an evolving program theory model. The presentation discusses the approaches used to gather, analyze, and present qualitative data that illustrate the program's working model as part of a developmental evaluation. Initially, interview excerpts were used to illustrate how the program theory was "coming to life" as the first two cohorts of participants progressed through this multiyear program. This approach to data analysis and reporting offered a program-wide lens and set up a "call and response" interchange between the program theory, as envisioned by a broad group of stakeholders, and the perspectives of individual participants. Subsequently, brief case studies of several participants were compiled to provide an individualized view of the program theory in action. This paper also explores the benefits and drawbacks of this highly personalized approach to illustrating the working model of this small pilot program.
