The document outlines Caffarella's interactive model of program planning and the steps involved in developing a learning contract for creating an educational program. It discusses identifying needs, writing learning objectives, specifying resources and strategies, evidence of accomplishment, and validation. The model takes into account the context and characteristics of adult learners to create well-designed, effective programs.

2. Agenda

3. Caffarella’s Interactive Model Interactive Model of Program Planning Building a Solid Base of support Identifying Program Ideas Sorting and Prioritizing Program Ideas Developing Program Objectives Designing Instructional Plans Devising Transfer of Learning Plans Formulating Evaluating Plans Making Recommendations and Communicating Results Preparing Budgets and Marketing Plans Coordinating Facilities and On-site Events Discerning the Context Selecting Formats, Schedules, and Staff Needs

4. What are the features of Caffarella’s model that make it unique and valuable for program planners?

5. Assumptions Inherent in the Interactive Model of Program Planning

6. What do we know about adults as learners and how does that affect program planning?

7. Adults as learners: What are the implications?

8. Five Critical Issues in Program Planning

9. Developing a Learning Contract for the Program You Want to Create Learning Objectives Learning Resources and Strategies Evidence of Accomplishment of Objectives Criteria and Means for Validating

10. Step 1: Diagnose Your Learning Needs

11. Step 2: Specify Your Learning Objectives

12. Writing Behavioral Objectives “ An objective is a written statement, defining in precise terms, what the learner will be able to do at the end of training and how well .” Robert Mager

13. Traditionally, behavioral objectives address three things: The desired behavior The conditions under which the behavior is performed The performance standards that are to be met

14. Example for ADLT 602: At the end of this course (condition), learners will be able to design a program plan (desired behavior) that uses all of the elements of Caffarella’s interactive model of program planning (performance standard).

15. Analysis Evaluation Synthesis Application Comprehension Knowledge Bloom’s Taxonomy for Levels of Cognitive Processing

16. Step 3: Specify Learning Resources and Strategies

17. Step 4: Specify Evidence of Accomplishment

18. Step 5: Specify How The Evidence Will be Validated

19. Step 6: Review Your Contract with Your Peers

20. Step 7: Carry out your contract. Step 8. Evaluate your learning. Ask those you indicated in Step 6 (peers or others) to examine your evidence and validation data and give you their judgment.
