...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Holly Regan HSM/270 May 25, 2014 Fedder Williams Program Planning and Evaluation Paper In comparison, each of the two components; program planning and program evaluation are related in the way that each is a theory based and goal-oriented activity. A program is a permanent and inseparable element of the planning process intended to achieve specific future goals. The methodical, yet necessary process of planning is important in designing programs to become an effective and efficient tool for human service organizations in conjunction with a systematic approach to descriptive research for meeting each presented goal. Descriptive research is designed to service clients, describe program characteristics, and other elements. It describes the use of facilities, community resources and other resources as well. It is also designed to study the relationship of association among various factors or variables and take into account the solicited views of a social issue or problem in program or policy design/planning process. Descriptive research provides a description of an observable fact or event or the relationships between two or more observable facts or events. Assessments vary categorically, but they can assess nearly everything and to the nth degree. Social programs are no different as assessments are utilized to produce data that is crucial for programs turning negative outcomes into positive outcomes. An assessment of needs plays...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Carolyn Morris HSM/270 November 24, 2013 Mrs.Dakira Starks-Walker Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Program planning is an organized process through which a set of planned activities or interventions is developed to address and enable change in some or all of the acknowledged problems. It is an ongoing process of development with intention of designing a set of activities the will tackle the identified need and problem. Such as the described program in PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. According to the text appendix B, “PEACE mission is to reduce victim trauma, empower survivors, and promote recovery through direct services. PEACE is committed to reducing the incidence of sexual assault and domestic violence through education and strives to challenge societal norms and beliefs that disregard and prolong violence in the community”. (Yuen & Terao, 2003,) The program planning must meet the need of the population it mentions in the mission statement. Program planning is the beginning of the program development stage. Program planning is the process every organization goes through, it is the creating of a solution to an issue or problem. Here is where your goals, objectives, and activities are formed. The team is brainstorming what the goal of the agency will be this is the mission statement. The mission statement is the standards for which the organization will function also what the clients can expect the organization to be about...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper HSM/270 Program Planning and Evaluation Paper A program is, “an activity or outcome-driven target population service, which is most often change-oriented and time limited,” (University of Phoenix, 2007). A program as it pertains to the human service field is referred to as a ‘service’. In order for a program, or service, to be successful it takes an abundant amount of planning; coming up with strategies and goals, and evaluations of those in the future. While these are two separate things, if built properly, should coincide with each other and become more alike than different. This is especially true when dealing with a program such as the Madison Children’s Hospital, a service that will help many children and their families if organized and evaluated properly. Program planning and program evaluation are two separate entities that rely on each other to make a service program grow and be successful. Program planning is a developmental process in which goals are made in order to fix problems or better adhere to the needs of the service community. The plan takes into consideration what will happen in the future as well as what has happened thus far. It is put together in a design format and then will be assessed in the program evaluation at a later time. It needs to do a few specific things: it needs to identify the problem and provide a clear understanding, state who it is effecting and how severely, offer...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper HSM 270 Date Your Name As you read this paper you will find that it is going to be about a fictional program scenario that I have chosen to work with. The scenario that I have chosen is scenario three, the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. Also I will be comparing program planning with program evaluation in human services organizations and how the components are related. Identified will be: specific examples of how program planning and evaluation interrelate in the scenario that was chosen. Lastly, we will be identifying technical and political aspects of program planning and evaluation that may be encountered in the scenario and how the aspects could affect the planning and evaluation process. After reviewing the material provided about program planning and program evaluation in human service organizations it seems as though they do compare to each other. According to the reading it states that “When planned carefully, these two set of activities can be integrated into an organized set of ongoing operations that promote and support each other” (Mika, 1996, p. 6). “Program planning and evaluation are both the process and the product of the political and economic environments” (Yuen, F., Terao, K., 2003). So from what can be understood they both are a process, but they do differ in how they process things in an organization. They way that both of the components are related is once one has his or her...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Program Planning and Evaluation Paper A program and evaluation of a program are not separate activities. When carefully planned a program and the evaluation of the program can be integrated into an organized set of ongoing operations that promote and support each other. Program planning is an organized process in which a set of coordinated activities or interventions is developed to address and facilitate change in some or all of the identified problems. It is an ongoing process of development with the intention of designing a plan that will tackle the identified needs and problems. Program planning is a means for program development and is a goal oriented activity based on the assessed needs and problems. Program planning requires that decisions be made. Program evaluation provides the needed information because it is the process of gathering and analyzing the data necessary for appraising alternatives. Program evaluation is a cooperative undertaking of all those concerned with improving vocational education, and is the foundation upon which planning is built. The scenario that I chose from Appendix B is “Continental Senior Center”. The following is an example of how program planning and evaluation interrelate in my chosen scenario. The Continental Senior Center provides a balanced, diverse, and coordinated program and promotes the senior center as a model for the aging and aged. The senior center is involved in a community...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Crystal Ingerson 5/1/16 HSM/270 Joan Butcher-Farkas Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Program planning and program evaluation are two parts to one goal. It is through program planning and evaluation that the attainment of program goals and quality of services are assessed. Program planning is defined as an organized process through which a set of coordinated activities or interventions is developed to address and facilitate change in some or all of the identified problems; thus, it is a means for development or change (Brooks/Cole, 2003). Only after the program interventions are implemented, then the performance and the attainment of intended objectives are then evaluated. Program evaluation provides useful information used for improving the programs and the service delivery systems (Brooks/Cole, 2003). Program planning and evaluation is very important when it comes to grant proposals. A grant proposal is a formal proposal submitted to a government or civilian entity that outlines a proposed project and shows budgetary requirements and requests monetary assistance in the form of a grant (Entrepreneur staff, 2016). Before writing a grant proposal, organizations must first have a proper program plan and evaluation process. Funding sources are no longer willing to allocate resources for human service agencies and expect merely a report on whether or not the program and service providers did what they said they would do (Brooks/Cole...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Axia College Program Planning and Evaluation Paper The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony (SRPYS) is an organization which supports young people who love music, encourages quality musicianship, and advanced leadership skills through their program. Local elementary and middle schools have had to cut the music programs from their curriculum; parents, students, and community members are concerned that this lack of support from the education community will discourage talented individuals. SRPYS is an organization which has developed plans to educate and advance the skills of young musicians. Their program planning and evaluation techniques are established, but always open to change as the students and musical tastes vary from year to year. Program planning and evaluation are two different processes in any human services agency, but are related to each other in many ways. Program planning is a process through activities or interventions which address and facilitate changes in a specific problem or problems. (Terao & Yuen, 2003) Through this planning, new programs can be implemented which can more appropriately address the problem or add new aspects to an existing program. Program evaluation provides information about how well a program is meeting the needs of its clientele, staff, the community, and its mission. Ongoing assessments allow for changes which need to be made as participants change, needs change, or there are better ways...

...Program Planning and Evaluation PEACE Domestic Violence Agency Program Planning and Evaluation Plan Introduction Program planning and evaluation are important to the grant writing process because it helps us lay out what the specific goals are for the program we are trying to fund. In this paper, we will do a comparative analysis of the planning and evaluation process and discuss how they relate to each other. Program evaluation is essential to the planning process because it is where we collect data which allows us to make necessary decisions about how the program should operate in order to achieve the best results in the most timely and cost effective way. Strategic planning can help identify the organizational goals to be achieved over a specific period of time and the resources needed to achieve those goals ( CDC's Evaluation Work Group ) The evaluation report will be useful to many parties involved with the program including core team members, grant organizations, and other social groups which use case study evaluations. Other benefits of program evaluations include: * Determining the impact of products and services on clients * Making program services more accessible and cost effective * Facilitating management of program staff members, including ensuring that they have the necessary knowledge to better serve our clients * The ability to access information from target areas in order to understand what their needs are, and what we can do to meet...
