Final Project Program Summary Assignment Expectations

DUE DATE: Day 7, Sunday before 11:59 pm MT

 

1. Re-read your chosen program scenario provided in Appendix B.

 

2.  Read your previous written assignments related to your program scenario and the new program you have developed for your scenario agency.

 

3.  Using your previous learning and reading for this course, summarize the process of a program's development. Note, you are not being asked to detail your proposed program, but you are being asked to explain the process a program manager would use to develop a new program. (For example, you do not need to write the evaluation plan for your program, but talk about factors in selecting the types of evaluations to be used, when they would be used, etc.) What thoughts would they have? What areas would need to be included in a new program in order to thoroughly develop it? Are there formulas that can be used to be sure all necessary information is included? What options need to be considered? Where can they obtain assistance within or outside of the organization? Be sure you discuss how the program manager of your chosen scenario would go about developing:

 

Overview of the program

Assessment

Needs and problem statement

Program planning

Alternative funding

Implementation

Evaluation

 

Again, your task in this assignment is NOT simply to define each of these areas, but to think like a program manager and explain the process you would undertake to complete each of these sections that would be considered during program development. You should use your scenario agency and your new program idea developed during this course to explain and illustrate the processes you would go through as a manager.

 

  1. Follow the writing format of:
    1. In your introduction, tell the reader what you plan to cover in your paper
    2. In the body of your written assignment, respond to each component of the assignment clearly and concisely
    3. In your summary, tell the reader what you covered in your paper.
    4. Submit your paper to the CWE for Grammarly and Plagiarism Checker review. When returned, make corrections as needed - remember: software sometimes makes incorrect suggestions, so your final proofreading must be carefully done!

This assignment, 200 possible points, will be graded on:

Timely Submission

NO LATE SUBMISSIONS ACCEPTED!

Mechanics - typing,   punctuation, capitalization, grammar and spelling are correct; evidence that   WritePoint and Spellchecker were used (30 pts). Paper is written in the third   person objective (20 pts) and contains no subjective discussion.

50 pts

APA - The paper, including   title page, reference page, page numbers, headings, tables and appendixes, is   laid out with effective use of headings, double spacing, font styles and   white spaces and follows APA formatting guidelines (10 pts). References and   citations of original works within the body of the paper are formatted per   APA requirements (30 pts).  Quotations should only be used to   provide specific data or support your own conclusions. Do not use extensive   quotations in this paper. However, use of at least 2 sources beyond the text   and Appendix are expected.  (10 pts)

50 pts

Major   Points - as noted in #3 above are stated clearly, are organized logically and   are supported by specific details, examples or analysis using the new program   developed for one of the Scenario agencies, either PEACE or Continental. Each   of the seven areas noted are explained from the program manager's perspective   (70 pts), using the chosen scenario and especially the student's new program   idea to illustrate examples (30 pts). Included is information on what   thoughts the program development manager would have, what areas would need to   be included in a new program in order to thoroughly develop it, formulas that   can be used to be sure all necessary information is included, what options   need to be considered and where program managers might obtain assistance   within or outside of the organization?  

Questions   are answered including, but not limited to, how the program manager would go   about developing:

·       Overview of the   program - what elements do they need to think about when writing an overview   of a program? Perhaps you might use the program planning formula discussed in   your text as the basis for this section.

·       Assessment - What is   a needs assessment? Why is it important to do one? Talk about the 4 types of   needs and ways the manager can understand needs of a target population   (forums, surveys, etc.) and discuss quantitative and qualitative   approaches. 

·       Needs and problem   statement- What is included in the statement? What problems do program   managers need to avoid when writing this statement? Again, review your text   on the subject

·       Program planning -   When writing a program plan, what sections need to be included? Talk a   bit about how the manager would develop each section, from approaches &   methods, mission, goals, activities, project management, evaluation, budget,   etc.

·       Alternative funding   -Why might the manager need to consider alternative funding? What types of   funding could he/she use? What might not work for this kind of program?

·       Implementation -What   does the manager need to think about when implementing the program? Think   about political and technical factors. What could get in the way of smooth   implementation? What could a manager do to avoid or fix those problems?

·       Evaluation -Why is   evaluation important? What options could the manager use to evaluate a   program? When would certain types of evaluation be selected? Why might the   manager not want to use a particular type? At what points during the life of   the program might evaluation be conducted?
