Program Planning and Evaluation Paper
From what I have read so far, I believe that program planning is the starting structure of a new program or starting blue prints or maybe even used to improve a program that is already in place. When dealing with program planning it involves making goals, research, setting up objectives in order to be sure to make goals and gathering some information. Information about the budget is also included in program planning, such as how much it will cost in order to provide the services that are intended by the program. Program planning helps in many ways, it basically tells us what the problem is, who is the problem’s targeted population, where is the demographic location of the targeted population, and also why is there a problem. A lot of thought and information is involved with program planning, collected by the staff and also the clients where available. The obstacles that the program may encounter along the way and the plans that will help to work around those obstacles is determined through program planning. Program planning should always be done thoroughly and carefully because as a blue print for a program we would all really like for the finishing product to be very well built, put together and organized with a great finished product. Basically program planning is a process that is in place to achieve a particular goal and/or mission. It will help to expedite change in an identified human service problem. Now, the ongoing collection of data in which the staff of the program can take into consideration when they are making some changes that are necessary improvements or future planning of the program is program evaluation. Program evaluations are what show the staff the strong points of the p...

...any politicians that are in charge, supporting programs that wish to stop domestic violence, then more problems could arise. This could cause the people that are in charge of program evaluations to feel as if they have to lie about a program’s effectiveness to remain on the good side of a certain politician that may be the only one that is supporting the program. Also I believe that another political aspect of it would be going to congress and fighting for laws against domestic violence, making the abuser have to take full responsibility for their actions. The issue that could affect planning of the domestic violence program is there housing or a safe house for the victims that are trying to get out or away from an abuser, such as a victim protection plan. The question that would be asked next is will the victim stay in the program or go back to the abuser.
Domestic violence is a problem in our country with nearly 1 million women experiencing at least one incident of domestic abuse each year, (2009/10 British Crime Survey). Social-program funding is being scrutinized in the current economic climate with doubts as to whether American tax dollars should be used to help victims of domestic violence. Cutting funds for government programs that assist victims of domestic violence is not an option for many reasons. In this essay I will explore some of the many ways these programs help our fellow citizens in order to support the argument for continuing to fund said programs.
The State of Texas and TCFV along with the city of Houston have recently hosted a program called “Partner to Protect: A Leadership Summit for Family Violence Programs and Law Enforcement.” This conference was formed to help victim advocates and law enforcement come up with better ways to respond to family violence in the community. The summit allowed advocated and law enforcement to share their expertise on domestic violence while explaining the in’s and out’s of associated with their jobs in order to help victims better understand any type of flaws that could happen during and emergency situation.
Significant studies have been done since the 1980’s, studies that include: how domestic violence impacts the family unit as a whole, treatment methods for the victims, family members, and offenders, as well as policing techniques.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, between 1998 and 2002: 84% of spouse abuse victims were females, and 86% of victims of dating partner abuse at were female. As a consequence, the racial diversity in US has created an impact on the current policy implementation and programs. This will helps us identify which individuals are reporting the greatest domestic violence rates regarding race, ethnicity, marital status and educational level. By studying the domestic violence abuse rates among races will help to identify which social class is currently being impacted. Action is needed for the destination of funding and development of programs aimed to help the
... policies have to be able to effectively deal with the crime. The results of this study can be used to formulate policy in the state and in other states. The study plays an important role in understanding the nature of domestic violence, and how enforcement of stricter laws against it will affect its prevalence in the community.
. Imperative strategic plan collective Ideally, the reverse process should occur, where the tailored organization progresses from a detailed understanding of its problems, which ensures that a particular technology or technique is adapted to meet the needs of the tailored organization. This process of adaptation should also take into account the production and operation, size and workforce. Tailored organization needs to be framed in terms of the needs of the tailored organization rather than the other way round. It is a decreasing function of improvement in the decision making of an organization.
First generation languages are machine level languages which basically consist of 1’s and 0’s. Instructions had to be entered through the front switches and no translators were used. The main advantage was that a code written by a user could run very fast and efficiently because it was executed directly by the CPU. They were introduced in the 1940’s. Even though programs written were small and simple, it was hectic to correct it if an error occurred. Examples are architecture specific binary delivered on switches or tapes.
For the Purposeful Curriculum Planning, I observed the newborn and toddler classroom at the Vineland Tri-County Head Start. The teacher, Mrs. R, along with her teacher aide, were lining up the children to step outside for playtime around 11:00a. As the children lined up, the teacher conducted a head count and, after doing so, led them out to the play-yard. The weather was very warm and somewhat humid that day. Outside, there was an enclosed area dedicated for playtime that contained two small gyms, one was a climbing apparatus that had a slide attached, and the other was a tree yard, which also had a small slide, a play window and entrance, and attachments. Once the children were all outside, some began to run around the yard, while the others decided to play on the gyms.
The article, “Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Intervention for Children Exposed to Domestic Violence: A Preliminary Program Evaluation”, written by Jacquelyn Lee, Stacey Kolomer and Donna Thompson and published in The Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal in 2012, (Lee, Kolomer, Thomsen 2012) reports the results of a study designed to evaluate the use of a preliminary program evaluation designed to address the needs of children exposed to domestic violence.
Alfred von Schlieffen, Chief of the Imperial German General Staff, created The Schlieffen Plan for war against France and Russia. It was designed to avoid a two front war. Seven eighths of german troops were sent to surround the strong french defenses by going through Belgium and the Netherlands while a third were ready at Germany and France’s border to attack. After the success of the attack on France, they planned to send the rest of the troops to Russia. Germany had no plan for dealing with Russia once the troops got there.
Have you ever met someone who was in an abusive relationship? Have you ever been in one yourself? Well, many people in the United States and around the world are in relationships that involve violence and abuse. Domestic abuse is a serious issue that seems to be taboo in a sense to some. There needs to be change, because it is critical. Many women suffer, and in some cases, men suffer too!
Domestic violence is skyrocketing in our society. In the U.S., as many as 1.5 million women and 850,000 men were physically assaulted by their intimate partner last year, and numerous children abused by their parents. These sad criminal acts will continue to grow in our society, unless our community takes action to stop these crimes.
Throughout my high school career I have been involved in several different activities, from track team, student government, office assistant at Alliance Academy middle School to an after-school program called BUILD (Business United Investenting Lending Development) and it is a program that has had the most influence on my high school self that has helped me grow as a student and as a leader. It is a college access program aimed at under-resourced high school students that offers an opportunity to develop a product, raise funding, manufacture anf sell a product in order to learn the skills of an entrepeneur. As a member of BUILD I was able to attend college tours, receive academic support throughout my four years of high school.
We can estimate the completion time of the project using this method and can reduce the factor of uncertainty by considering both the shortest and longest time calculation for the critical path.
Planning can be used to help the organization map out a way to efficiently achieve their goals. The beginning of the planning process should include analyzing of the current situation. From this information the company can determine the goals and start to outline the steps that need to be taken to ensure that the goal will be met. Other planning activities that should be completed are determining the company’s objectives and were they want to be in the future. This will help them to choose their business objectives and strategies. In addition, the company should look at the resources that they have available and determine if they are sufficient to achieve the organizations goals.
