Assignment 2: Program Design Elements Program Design With the continuation of Assignment 2, it is important to notice and appreciate the congruity provided through systematic program planning and evaluation. A well-developed program design facilitates the alignment necessary for an effective intervention, enabling the program to address the problem through appropriate services that– ideally! –result in positive outcomes. This week you further delineate your program design, crafting elements visually and creating a time line using a Gantt chart. To prepare for this week's section of Assignment 2: Refer      to the information presented in this week's Learning Resources as you      consider all of the elements of your program. Begin      to visualize or draft a graphical representation of your program based on      the theory or model you have chosen (Week 3 [see week 3 discussion paper attached] ) as demonstrated in      Chapter 8 of Designing and Managing Programs . If your theory      or model of choice does not have such a visual representation associated      with it then you will need to create one. Also,      in this design, state your mission, goal(s), and objectives for your      program. State all activities that will assist in meeting each objective      and outline this in a Gantt chart with time lines for implementing the      activities.

1. Assignment 2: Program Design Elements
Program Design
With the continuation of Assignment 2, it is important to notice
and appreciate the congruity provided through systematic
program planning and evaluation. A well-developed program
design facilitates the alignment necessary for an effective
intervention, enabling the program to address the problem
through appropriate services that–
ideally!
–result in positive outcomes.
This week you further delineate your program design, crafting
elements visually and creating a time line using a Gantt chart.
To prepare for this week's section of Assignment 2:
Refer to the information presented in this week's Learning
Resources as you consider all of the elements of your
program.
Begin to visualize or draft a graphical representation of your
program based on the theory or model you have chosen
(Week 3
[see week 3 discussion paper attached]
) as demonstrated in Chapter 8 of
Designing and Managing Programs
. If your theory or model of choice does not have such a
visual representation associated with it then you will need to
create one.

2. Also, in this design, state your mission, goal(s), and
objectives for your program. State all activities that will
assist in meeting each objective and outline this in a Gantt
chart with time lines for implementing the activities.
By tomorrow Friday 01/04/19 by 6 pm
In APA format with a minimum of 6 scholarly references,
write a 3- to 5-page paper and create accompanying documents
that address the following level 1 and 2 headers:
1)
Stakeholder Involvement in Developing Mission Statement,
Goals, and Objectives
(developed in Week 5)
a) Explain why it is important for representatives of your target
population to be involved in developing the goals and objectives
for the program.
b) Identify which stakeholders you would involve in the
planning process and discuss two or more strategies for
facilitating their involvement.
2)
Program Design
(developed this week 6, with elements developed in Week 5
[see week 6 discussion paper attached]
)

3. a) Create a visual representation of your program design (e.g., a
table or graph) that includes the program's mission statement,
goal(s), objectives, and activities to meet the objectives
(http://www.ganttchart.com/Examples.html)
b) Develop a Gantt chart with time lines for implementing all
activities that will assist in meeting each of your program
objectives.
P.S. Always include an introduction ending with a purpose
statement and conclusion as required per APA format
